Libbie's Chocolate Pudding Recipe

A cherished family recipe passed down from my mother-in-law! This creamy, dreamy chocolate pudding is surprisingly easy to make, but requires a little elbow grease (constant stirring!) to prevent burning. The secret? A touch of flour for extra richness. Enjoy it warm, with a splash of milk for the ultimate comforting treat. Feel free to add coconut for a tropical twist!

How to Make Libbie's Chocolate Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 3 cups whole milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Beat 2 large eggs in a separate bowl, then whisk them into the milk mixture.
  4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the pudding thickens significantly (about 10-15 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional).
  6. Serve warm, drizzled with a little extra milk if desired. Enjoy!
