Oma's Chocolate Pudding
"This is my Mom's recipe. She created it many years ago and it is still a favourite to this day. We eat it while it is still warm. This is the only way I will eat pudding now. My sons just go nuts for this! Custard powder may be in the British import section or in with the pudding mixes and such in the grocery store."

This makes an ENORMOUS batch! I scaled it down to "2" servings. I used soy milk instead of dairy milk (I heated it to almost boiling instead of 'scalding' the milk). It was a little lumpy but maybe next time I'll beat the egg a little longer. Also, DH and I like dark chocolate, so I will be doubling the amount of cocoa. But overall very creamy and thick... I ate what wouldn't fit into the tupperware warm and it was delicious! -
This is the first time I ever used custard powder and was a little unsure of how it would turn out. Well, Oma got it right- Thick, light, creamy and chocolaty…What a delicious pudding. Besides using 1% milk, I made as posted. The family loved it and I’ll eat pudding occasionally, never a big fan BUT this has turned me around, I really enjoyed this pudding! It is the “house� pudding from now on!! -
This puddding was very simple but still delcious!! I thought it wasn't going to be very thick since I used skim milk, but the custard powder really make it a great consitency! Thanks for the recipe Saturn -
The family loved it, and my DS loves custard so he was in heaven. Thanks Saturn, great recipe!! -
Saturn my dh was thrilled, warm pudding and chocolate to boot. One word descripton Yummy! I'd never had pudding this way before. It was so good, thick, light, creamy rich and chocolatey. A real comfort food for my dh. It was very quick and easy to make with lovely results. Thank you so much for sharing.
