The Vanilla Chocolate Pudding is an easy dessert recipe with home-made creamy pudding. It can be served warm or chilled. The Vanilla Chocolate Pudding is a great make ahead party dessert.
On a day when you have to write something with V I cannot just skip the beautiful Vanilla – even if it’s just a plain Jane vanilla, can I? I am in love with vanilla because it has such a subtle taste and you can use vanilla in almost everything. I was very tempted to do a Vanilla Pudding Trifle today but then I thought can anything beat the vanilla and chocolate combination – no right? Hence, here is me enjoying a Vanilla Chocolate Pudding, and I would like to call it Vanilla Chocolate Duet Pudding. That name sounds cool right?
I find this Vanilla Chocolate Pudding very gorgeous to look at. I love the colors and textures. It’s like the yin and yang of pudding in there. You can make this with store bought pudding mix but I made everything from scratch because that gives better results than the pudding mix that you get in packs. It is, in fact, a very easy no bake dessert recipe that you can make ahead and serve at a party.
How to make Vanilla Chocolate Pudding?
This entire pudding has one key player – cornstarch or corn flour that we get in India. Corn starch helps in thickening of the custard. If you follow the recipe to the T then I am sure you will end up with a smooth creamy duet pudding – that’s quite a star in the dessert world!
You can do various things with this basic vanilla chocolate pudding recipe. You can have layered pudding, you can make a layered trifle or even a parfait with some crushed chocolate biscuits. See there can be three dessert recipes with this one vanilla chocolate pudding!
I have used an egg for the custard because I think milk and egg make an awesome creamy custard, but if you want to go completely vegan just skip it.
- Milk – 500 ml
- Sugar – 1/2 cup
- Cornflour/ cornstarch – 1/4th cup
- Egg -1
- Salt – 1/4th teaspoon
- Cocoa Powder – 4 tablespoon

Now I want pudding! I had no idea it was this easy to make.. Definitely not going to buy mix anymore.
This looks so rich and creamy! I’m always so nervous about making pudding because it’s turned out lump in the past.
