Is there anyone out there who likes white chocolate better than regular chocolate? I’m waving my hand high in the air. Can you see me? Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate. It’s just that I love white chocolate more. The Easter Bunny used to bring me white chocolate bunnies while my sisters received the milk chocolate counterpart. There’s just something about the smooth, creamy, sweet flavour of white chocolate that drives my tastebuds crazy!
I picked up some white chocolate for baking the other week. I’ve been known to eat those delicious little squares like a candy bar on its own. This time around I saved them for a recipe I was planning to make – White Chocolate Pudding. If you are a white chocolate fan like me, you will want to save this recipe!

Does White Chocolate Pudding Need to Chill Before Being Served
It’s made on your stovetop in a saucepan in a matter of minutes. Once it thickens up, then it’s time to add in your white chocolate squares. It needs to cool down first in the fridge for at least an hour.
Then, serve it with the toppings of your choice. I topped mine with sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Talk about decadent!

How to Store Leftover White Chocolate Pudding
You will want to store all leftover white chocolate pudding in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to five days.

What is the Best Chocolate to Use for White Chocolate Pudding
You want to use quality chocolate when you make this pudding. The reason being is because the white chocolate will stand out. So if you use cheaper chocolate you won’t get as pure of a flavor in the pudding. So consider buying quality chocolate when making this pudding.

Thank you for such a simple recipe that requires little time and basic ingredients. I will serve mine with a shard of white chocolate with cocoa nips. I got 6 individual dessert cups.
Just made this. I added ¼ cup bourbon after the chocolate melted in. It’s amazing. I’m going to layer it with chocolate pudding in martini glasses and top it off with vanilla whipped cream. Some edible gold stars sprinkled on top will make it a perfect New Year’s Eve dessert. Thanks!

Yes, I bet it would be yummy in a Snickers salad.
