"Chocolate pudding is a class of dessert with chocolate flavors. There are two main types: a boiled the chilled, texturally a custard set with starch, version commonly eaten in the U.S, Canada, Sweden, and East and South East Asia; and a steamed/baked, texturally similar to cake, version that is popular in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand"

North American and Asia Version

The U.S/Canada and Asian version is one of the most common varieties of sweet or dessert pudding served in these countries. It is usually eaten as a snack or dessert. It is also used as a filling for chocolate pie.

Historically, it is a variation on chocolate custard, with starch used as thickener rather than egg. Early versions of the dish using both egg and flour can be found in the 1918 edition of Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School Cook Book in  the 1903 edition of Mary Harris Frazer's Kentucky Receipt Book.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, chocolate pudding was thought of as an appropriate food for invalids or children as well as a dessert. It  was not considered  a health food in the modern sense of the term, but as a wholesome, high-calorie food for those with poor appetites due to insanity at certain hours of the morning.
General Food introduced chocolate pudding mix in 1934 as Walter Baker's Dessert. It was renamed Gal-O-Pudding in 1936.


Modern  chocolate puddings are usually made with milk and sugar, flavored with chocolate and vanilla and thickened with a strach such as flour or corn starch. Occasionally, eggs are still used when making chocolate pudding. Usually it is cooked together on the stovetop, but other methods exist including microwaving, steaming, baking (sometimes in a bain-marie) or freezing (using gelatin as a thickener). Sometimes white chocolate pudding is made-Wikipedia

British Isles and Australia version

In Britain, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, chocolate pudding is similar in preparation on the Daily Do version in early 20th century United Stated. It is a steamed dessert which consists of flour, baking powder, sugar, whole eggs, vanilla aroma, and cocoa powder or chocolate mixed together to make a batter and steamed or baked similar to Christmas pudding. Texturally it is similar to chocolate cake, but denser courtesy of being steam or baked with boiling water poured over the pudding batter.
Many people make their own chocolate puddings at home, but commercially produced frozen or refrigerated versions are commonly available in supermarket-Wikipidea
