An easy chocolate pudding recipe with a surprise

What better way to start a Thursday morning than with a Boozy Triple Chocolate Pudding recipe?

Admit it, I had y'all at "Boozy" and "Triple Chocolate"...

I'm celebrating Thirsty Thursday by eating my liquor in this boozy triple chocolate pudding and it's everything I've ever wanted in a dessert. 

Takes less than 20 minutes to make, contains no eggs, and can be served warm or cold. 

PLUS, it's made with chocolate and booze...have I mentioned that already?? 

Two of my all-time favorite things, combined into one yummy and super easy dessert!

Boozy Triple Chocolate Pudding

As Fall approaches and the weather becomes cooler, everyone starts craving all things pumpkin.  I start craving chocolate and booze. 

Alright, I always crave chocolate and booze no matter what the season BUT there is one thing I really start craving once the weather turns colder... alcoholic coffee.

A little Irish cream liqueur in a mug of strong Sumatran coffee is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. 

Last week there was a little chill in the air, so I brewed a cup of strong coffee, poured in a splash (or 2) of some Baileys, and added a spoonful of raw cacao powder. 

As a sipped this rich and creamy coffee, I thought how good it would be in a dessert form, like as an ice cream or mousse. 

Next thing I know, I'm in the kitchen making this pudding...

Boozy Triple Chocolate Pudding

Use only the best chocolate for your chocolate recipes

There are 3 types of chocolate in this chocolate pudding recipe:  raw cacao powder, semi-sweet chips, and crushed cookies for the top. 

This is not the time to scrimp on the quality of chocolate.  High quality chocolate is everything. 

Read labels and only buy one with natural flavors and ingredients. 

Don't ever accept inferior chocolate because life is way too short for that kind of nonsense.

My go-to chocolate for baking at home is Enjoy Life Chocolate.

I always have multiple bags of the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate in chip and chunk forms to use in recipes or to snack on. 

It's smooth, creamy and not too sweet.  It's also the cleanest tasting, reasonably priced chocolate around.

Next time you are craving a lusciously rich chocolate dessert, make this Boozy Triple Chocolate Pudding recipe.  Served warm or cold, it's the perfect anytime dessert or treat, full of decadent chocolatey goodness.  Feel free to leave out the liqueur if that's not your thing or for a more kid-friendly pudding.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened raw cacao powder or substitute regular cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup demerara sugar or granulated white sugar
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life chocolate)
  • ⅓ cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs crushed
  • 2 cups whipped cream optional for topping
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add the ½ cup cacao powder, ⅓ cup sugar, ⅓ cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix together the dry ingredients using a wire whisk, then gradually add the 4 cups milk, whisking well until mixture is fully incorporated and smooth. Continue to whisk the mixture until the pudding thickens and comes to a low boil, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the ¾ cup chocolate chips, ⅓ cup Irish cream liqueur, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to the pudding and continue whisking and cooking for another minute or until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly in the pan.
  • Divide pudding among 8 small dessert bowls and top each with ¼ cup of the chocolate cookie crumbs. Can be served warm or cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least one hour for chilled pudding.

Optional: Top with homemade whipped cream before serving

    Recipe Notes & Tips:

    • Can leave out the liqueur for a kid friendly chocolate pudding.
    • Store leftover pudding in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.

      Oh girl!!!! I did not have a sweet tooth until I got pregnant and now it's nearly insatiable! I made chocolate chip cookies the other day and I could NOT stop eating them! I literally had to throw half of them away because I was out of control! I would not stand a chance with this dessert! My only saving grace is the booze - I'll have to save this one post-natal, just for good measure

      Yes, you absolutely had me at booze and chocolate. Pudding is one of my favorite things and I must thank you for adding booze because now you are really speaking my language. By the way, where are the potato chips on your list of favorite things?
