“Old Fashion” Amish Chocolate Pudding just like I remember as a kid. Only four simple ingredients and one great taste! It tastes nothing like those little plastic cups of chocolate pudding full of preservatives and whatever else they put in there. This is the type of pudding that forms a skin on top unless you cover it with plastic wrap.

Pour the pudding into a bowl.

If you want a skin on the pudding,

don’t cover it and refrigerate it. If you

don’t like a skin, place a piece of plastic

wrap directly on top of the hot

pudding and refrigerate.

      • Oh thank you! I’ll definitely try this and do a post on how it turned out. I am going to do a post soon about all the things I’ve tried making in the past few weeks and how some of them miraculously turned out to be pretty good!
        Thanks once again! 🙂

      • I can’t wait to read them! I’m not surprised at all that they turned out great! After all my years of cooking I still have my fails, I just don’t tell anyone…hahahaha So when that does happen, chalk it up to a great learning experience, I do!

  9. I know this recipe by heart. This was something my mother taught me and I have been making it ever since. It sometimes amazes me that simple recipes that were common are now not being made. It is just as easy to make pudding from scratch as it is to buy a mix. I guess that just shows the power of commercials and marketing. Anyways thanks for sharing this.

    • Hahahaha sometimes it feels like it. What’s funny is I have had 5 hospital stays since last year and still blogged from the hospital….3 times was surgery and I was out for hours! Call me crazy…..lol I haven’t missed a day blogging since I started so it’s a challenge to keep it going. I love a good challenge!

  15. This sounds delicious, Diane. I grew up adding store-bought packages with a powder to hot milk to make pudding, and those were very good, but they probably still contained several artificial ingredients. This is so straightforward, I will definitely try it.
