Reliving some of your memories of it — and creating new ones for your own family — is as easy as whisking up a simple custard. A memorable pudding hinges on the best-quality chocolate (we use two kinds to guarantee an unforgettable fudge-like taste) and a thick, velvety texture.
Chocolate pudding is fun to eat — just try to lick it off a spoon without smiling! It is also gloriously uncomplicated to make. Our pudding recipe is simple, straightforward, and short. You won’t need any fancy equipment, just a talent for stirring.
Pro Tip: Be sure to use the freshest cream, pure vanilla extract, and finest chocolate available.
2 cups heavy cream
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
26 chocolate wafers
3 bananas, thinly sliced lengthwise, plus 1/2 banana, sliced into rounds
1. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil over medium-high. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar and whisk to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
2. Layer 13 chocolate wafers in a 2-quart baking dish. Add half the chocolate mixture, then top with lengthwise banana slices. Top with 13 more cookies and remaining chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate until pudding is set and cookies are tender, about 2 hours (or up to 1 day). Top with round banana slices and serve.
