Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This pudding is rich, chocolatey, creamy, and incredibly easy to make with just a handful of pantry staples. Everything gets tossed into the blender, so there’s no cooking, tempering eggs, or standing over the stove. It’s also a fantastic way to use leftover hard boiled eggs before they go to waste. Even better, the flavor gets smoother and richer after a few hours in the refrigerator, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Hard boiled eggs
- Whole milk
- Granulated sugar
- Dark cocoa powder
- Vanilla extract
- Optional: Whipped topping, shaved dark chocolate
Step By Step Directions
- Start by adding the peeled hard boiled eggs to your blender, followed by the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla.
- Blend for about 15 seconds, then stop and scrape down the sides and bottom of the blender. Blend again for another 15 seconds, scrape once more, then blend for about 40 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
- You can enjoy it immediately, but it really shines after chilling for several hours or overnight. Spoon into serving dishes and top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if you’d like.
Tips for the Best Pudding
The biggest secret to great boiled egg pudding is starting with properly cooked hard boiled eggs. Eggs that are overcooked can develop a sulfur flavor that may come through in the finished pudding, while undercooked eggs won’t blend as smoothly. Aim for fully cooked yolks that are bright yellow without the gray-green ring around the outside.
Blend longer than you think you need to. A full minute or so of blending creates that ultra-smooth pudding texture.
If your pudding seems thicker than you’d like, simply blend in a splash or two of additional milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
For the richest flavor, use a good-quality dark cocoa powder.
Variations
- Stir in a little instant espresso powder for a mocha version.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a Mexican chocolate-inspired pudding.
- Swap the vanilla for peppermint extract during the holidays.
- Use your favorite granulated sugar substitute if you’d like to reduce the sugar.
- Top with fresh berries, chocolate curls, crushed cookies, or chopped nuts.
Storage
Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If a little liquid separates during storage, simply give it a quick stir before serving.
Do not freeze, as the texture won’t be the same after thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does hard boiled egg pudding taste like eggs?
Not if the eggs are cooked properly. When blended thoroughly with cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and milk, the eggs become completely smooth and provide a creamy texture without an egg flavor.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, it tastes even better after it’s been chilled for several hours or overnight. The flavors meld together beautifully as it rests.
How long does homemade pudding last?
Store the pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Can I freeze it?
Freezing isn’t recommended. The texture changes as it thaws and can become grainy or watery.
Can I use a different milk?
Yes. Whole milk gives the creamiest texture, but 2% milk or your favorite dairy-free milk can also work. Keep in mind that lower-fat options may produce a slightly thinner pudding.
