Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your pudding. Look for a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it reaches a simmer, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken up.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries are all great options.

Conclusion:

Grandma's chocolate pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
