Chocolate Pudding Recipe

When someone says chocolate pudding, it brings us back to our childhood. Chocolate pudding is dear to our hearts. It tastes likes Sunday afternoon when our Mum used to prepare chocolate pudding with bananas for us.

Throw away the box and try this classic homemade pudding recipe. You won’t believe how incredibly easy it is to make creamy chocolate pudding from scratch!

You can add few pieces of banana at the bottom of the bowl. Whipped cream goes well with chocolate and banana. Feel free to decorate with chocolate chips, chocolate shavings or any decoration you prefer. 

Homemade chocolate pudding can be made in advance and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.
