Creamy Chocolate Peppermint Pudding
This chocolate peppermint pudding is an easy dessert that tastes just like peppermint mocha but has the texture of chocolate cream. It’s so easy to make (no cooking required!) but it looks totally fancy.

Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- pinch of salt
- 8 ounces very hot strong coffee (almost boiling)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- peppermint candy, broken up (I used mini candy canes)
Instructions
- Put the chocolate chips in a blender. Add the eggs, peppermint extract, and salt. Pulse a few times until the chocolate chips are partially chopped.
- Turn on the blender and carefully open the little opening and slowly pour the very hot (it needs to be nearly boiling) coffee into the chocolate in a slow steady stream. If you can’t do that safely, then turn the blender off, pour the coffee in slowly, put the lid back on, and blend until it’s smooth.
- Pour the mixture into mason jars or cups and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm.
- Whip the whipped cream and sugar and add to the top of the pudding!
Notes
Note: In order to melt the chocolate and cook the eggs properly, you need really hot coffee for this recipe.
