Chocolate Pudding Recipe

"With a splash of amaretto"


chocolate pudding recipe


This chocolate pudding recipe . this is the gooey inside I use in my chocolate tart recipe. This is just a basic recipe with one exception - AMARETTO! You CAN leave it out if you want - the recipe turns out fine, just like a normal (non-Italian) chocolate pudding recipe. (You can see some substitution ideas in the question section below.)



Making pudding from scratch is worth the effort. (And it's not a lot of extra effort - you just can't wander off and do facebook - you need to stir CONSTANTLY or your milk will burn. ) The texture is about the same as a box pudding, but a bit more congealed. Here's where you get the extra bounce tho - THE FLAVOR. It's, like out there on your on your tongue.

Thanks for stopping by - And really, do give making pudding a chance. Try it once. Or at least put it on your bucket list.

What else can flavor the pudding with?

Several things:

  • Kahlua


  • almond flavoring


  • Can I use this chocolate pudding recipe to fill a tart or pie?

    I don't make pies, it's just not done much in Italian dessert recipes. We make tarts instead! And this is the same filling recipe used in the chocolate tart recipe. That recipe is fantastic with the ground almond crust.
