Description

A creamy chocolate pudding loaded with soft marshmallows, crunchy nuts, and melty chocolate chips, inspired by the classic rocky road flavor combination.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and slowly whisk in the dry mixture.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the pudding evenly into serving bowls.
  6. Top with mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set, then serve chilled.

Notes

  • Stir constantly while cooking to prevent lumps.
  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts.
  • Chill longer for a firmer texture.
