Chocolate Pudding (eggless) Recipe

Chocolate Pudding (with eggs) Recipe

I grew up eating Jell-O pudding, and have to admit that I like it. It’s cool, creamy, and just fun to eat. However, I’ve told that homemade it always better. I have tried Alton Brown’s instant chocolate pudding recipe, but it never seems quite as satisfying for some reason. So I set out to find a “real” chocolate pudding recipe. I found two categories – ones with eggs and ones who thought eggs in pudding was pretty much the most horrific thing ever. I made them both. The recipes I chose are both equally time consuming, but the one without eggs is a one bowl recipe, while the one with eggs involves a food processor, a bowl, and a few extra steps. But is one really better than the other? Is there a difference? Without a doubt, yes! The pudding made with the eggs is richer, creamier, and definitely worth the extra steps. The pudding without eggs? Well, I could not get it to set up. I’ve made it a couple times, and every time it remains very runny. Also, it’s very sweet. The pudding with eggs just has more depth of flavor. It’s not as simple as instant, but one bite makes you forget the extra time it took to make.
