Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 200 g Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, finely chopped
• 500 ml whole milk (2 cups)
• 30 g cornstarch (3 tbsp)

How to Make 3-Ingredient Cadbury Pudding

1. Pour 100 ml of cold whole milk into a small bowl, add the cornstarch, and whisk until smooth with no lumps.
2. Pour the remaining 400 ml of milk into a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam, about 3 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low, stir the cornstarch mixture once more, and pour it into the warm milk while whisking constantly.
4. Whisk continuous over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until the mixture bubbles and thickens to a thin pancake batter consistency.
5. Remove the pan from heat immediately and stir in the chopped Cadbury chocolate until completely melted and glossy.
6. Divide the chocolate mixture evenly into four small dessert glasses or ramekins.
7. Cover each glass with plastic wrap touching the pudding surface directly to prevent a skin from forming, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.

Pro Tip

Never add cornstarch directly to hot milk in the saucepan. Cornstarch expands instantly when hitting high heat, which causes tight clumps that ruin the texture. Always mix cornstarch with cold liquid first to create a smooth slurry before introducing it to warm milk.

Serving & Storage

Serve this pudding chilled straight from the fridge. Top each glass with fresh whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh raspberries to balance the rich Cadbury flavor. Pair it with crisp butter biscuits or enjoy it completely on its own.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The pudding will maintain its silky texture as long as it stays cold.

Freezing is not recommended for this dessert. Cornstarch-based puddings separate and become watery once thawed, losing their smooth texture. Stick to refrigerated storage for best results.

FAQs

Can I use skim milk instead of whole milk?

You can use skim milk, but the pudding will be less rich and slightly thinner. Whole milk gives the dessert its signature creamy texture.

How do I keep a skin from forming on top of the pudding?

Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the warm pudding before putting it in the fridge to chill.

Can I use dark Cadbury chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Yes, Cadbury Bournville or dark chocolate works well if you prefer a less sweet dessert with a stronger cocoa taste.
