"You don't need a box! Can be doubled. I have also substituted low fat milk and half and half. Feel free to experiment with milk substitutes if you like. The corn starch really "sets" this pudding."

Delicious! Very rich and creamy, even though I made it with 2 1/2 cups of whole milk and left out the cream. I only used 2/3 cup sugar as well. I put it into little 1/2 cup containers for my kids' lunch. Now that's a snack pack :)

Good, deep chocolate flavor, but it was too thick for my taste....maybe a little less cornstarch needed. I WOULD NOT MAKE THIS AGAIN.

Very nice! First time making pudding homemade and it was delicious. Instead of the vanilla, I used Bailey's, 'cause it was on hand and I want to get rid of it. Next time I will use the vanilla. Thanks for posting.

INCREDIBLE!!! I have never, ever had homemade chocolate pudding. This was awesome!!! It is a keeper at our house. I ate mine warm, lol! I had planned to take a picture but it set before I was able to. I will take one later this week as I am sure I'll be making again soon! Thanks again so much!

I got three almost full ramekins worth out of this recipe. Everyone enjoyed this from the 2 year old upwards. Very rich chocolate flavour.
