If you have never tried homemade pudding you should give this recipe a try.
Why make homemade pudding?
Homemade pudding tastes better. At least in my opinion homemade pudding is better than the box of pudding mix or the premade store bought pudding.
Homemade pudding only uses a few basic ingredients. It takes a few more minutes to make, but it really doesn’t take that long to make. The extra time is so worth it.
Making homemade pudding, like Martha Stewart’s Chocolate pudding, also allows you to control the ingredients. When you make it homemade you know exactly what is in it.
Old Fashioned Chocolate Pudding Recipe
Martha Stewart’s chocolate pudding is a basic old fashioned chocolate pudding recipe.
The recipe came from the Everyday Food Magazine September 2004 issue. I followed her recipe for pudding exactly as she had it.
However, I did use Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream. Since it is Martha, she makes homemade whipped cream. I didn’t have any cream to make homemade whipped cream so I just used Cool Whip.
I am pretty sure that Martha would not approve of using Cool Whip, but we don’t need to tell her.
Is pudding gluten free?
Most pudding is gluten free, but not all pudding is gluten free. Martha Stewart’s chocolate pudding recipe that I am sharing today is gluten free.
That means it is normal food that just happens to be gluten free!
