Chocolate Pudding Recipe Without Cornstarch

This Chocolate Pudding Recipe Without Cornstarch offers a creamy, smooth dessert thickened with flour instead of traditional cornstarch. Using cocoa powder and granulated sugar for chocolate flavor and sweetness, the pudding is cooked on the stovetop with eggs and milk to create a rich, custard-like consistency. Vanilla and butter round out the flavor, resulting in a classic pudding texture that sets firm after chilling.

Description

The pudding combines flour, sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder mixed together before eggs and milk are incorporated to form a smooth mixture. It is gently cooked over medium heat while whisking until it thickens and simmers. Butter and vanilla are added after cooking to enhance richness and aroma. The pudding is then divided into serving vessels and covered with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming as it cools in the refrigerator.

This recipe’s texture is smooth and creamy with a tender bite from the flour's thickening action, different from the gel-like set typical of cornstarch-based puddings. The chocolate flavor is balanced and mildly sweet, making it suitable as a dessert on its own or for topping with cherries or whipped cream.

The pudding can be served chilled in individual cups or a large bowl, making it convenient to portion. Adding whipped cream or fresh berries complements the chocolate without overpowering it.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 egg
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  1. Add flour, sugar, and cocoa powder to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
