Viral Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding Recipe
My sister Tatyana, sent me this viral hard-boiled egg chocolate pudding recipe, and when I saw the ingredients, I thought exactly what you’re thinking—how weird! Tatyana is an APRN, CRNA, and NSPM-C and runs a functional pain clinic in Idaho. I love it when she shares her insights into nutrition and never steers me wrong, so I decided to try it. My sister also introduced me to Date Snickers (a fantastic treat that doesn’t spike your blood sugar the same way candy would).
In my research, I discovered that the original boiled egg pudding was originally invented by Maria Emmerich. I was shocked by the results and couldn’t wait to share it! It tastes like a yummy chocolate pudding but has lots of protein and only 5 ingredients. It’s also grain-free and gluten-free, and if you substitute almond milk, it can be dairy-free.
Throw out those powdered pudding packets, because you won’t need them anymore! All you need is this recipe and a blender.
Ingredients for Hard-boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding
This quick, chocolatey snack requires only 5 ingredients that you probably have stocked in your pantry.
- Hard Boiled Eggs – to make these, follow this Perfect Boiled Eggs tutorial or use a pressure cooker with our Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe. While you may also be able to buy these at the store allready cooked, hard-boiled eggs are so easy to make and are great to have prepped in the fridge for snacking.
- Whole Milk – the higher fat content makes the pudding that much more creamy, but you can substitute it with lower-fat milk or even dairy-free milk (almond milk, for example), but the consistency may be a bit more runny. You can also add milk to your desired consistency. It’s easy to stir it in after the pudding is made.
- Pantry Staples – granulated sugar (I prefer organic sugar, but you can substitute with coconut sugar), unsweetened cocoa powder, and Vanilla Extract
Pro Tip:
Soft-boiled eggs will also work for making this pudding, but be sure to cool the eggs after cooking in an ice-water bath before putting them in the blender.
How to Make Chocolate Pudding with Hard-Boiled Eggs
It takes just minutes to make this hard-boiled egg chocolate pudding. It comes together quickly and satisfies your chocolate sweet tooth.
- Blend all the ingredients in a blender until creamy and silky smooth. If it’s grainy looking, keep mixing. You may need to scrape the sides of the blender to be sure it’s all mixed, or add more milk to get your preferred creamy texture.
- Enjoy the chocolate pudding right away, but you will get a creamier flavor and texture if you refrigerate for a few hours before eating.
Make-Ahead
Store covered in an airtight container to keep the hard-boiled egg chocolate pudding fresh-tasting for up to 4 days. It will continue to thicken as it refrigerates. If desired, you can stir in more milk to thin it out. Enjoy it cold right out of the refrigerator.

After reading the nutritional numbers I was wondering how many portions the recipe makes?
Hi Heather, it makes 2 cups of pudding and 6 servings.
Made the recipe and honestly thought I was as wasting ingredients. I made it exactly the way described with slightly soft boiled eggs and added some maple syrup. It tastes just like a gourmet snack pack. It’s culinary sorcery. My kids are crushing it and I’m not telling them how I made it. Putting it in the fridge a few hours makes all the difference. Can it be frozen and if so for how long?
That’s awesome, Andrew! It does not freeze great, the texture after thawing is grainy and curdled.
It also makes delicious fudge popsicles!! ☺️
Not sure although dont believe it would be alot thicker, whether its because i used coconut syrup as a pose to a dry sweetener but this recipe made an eggy milkshake texture not a thick creamy texture. I had to add some coconut flour and geletine to thicken it up considerably.
Also quite an eggy smell. Will see how it goes after a few hours hoping my toddler will enjoy this one to help fill him up
Hi Cass! It’s likely due to the coconut syrup. It adds extra moisture and effects the structure, so instead of emulsifying into a pudding texture, it stays drinkable. It could also be that the eggs weren’t fully broken down and needed to be blended longer. I hope your attempt to rescue it works, coconut flour should absorb the extra moisture although the texture may still be affected. Refrigerating it typically helps the eggy smell and taste.
You can taste the boiled eggs and I didn’t like this at all. The consistency was great but yuck. I saved it by adding zero carb whip cream
Hi Bridget! Let it rest in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, it helps reduce the eggy taste.
Nope…you absolutely cannot taste the hard boiled eggs….and I did not even refrigerate the pudding…yet.
Add more cocoa powder…if you taste eggs…that means your tongue loves a darker cocoa taste…and keep tasting…for sweetness…I used NOW BATTER STEVIA powder.
I used 35% whipping cream and when I ran out at about 8 ounces I added a splash of 10% cream. The serving bowl is sitting in my left hand as I type this right now…I just made it…no egg taste at all…keep adding ingredients until it works for you! I began with 8 extra large hard boiled eggs but just a little jammy…I did not have time to scramble eggs. I added over 2.5 tsp stevia = 2.5 cups sugar and it is not sweet yet!
My cocoa is zero carb…imported from England Fry’s Cocoa by Cadbury…it is the best quality available in Canada🇨🇦‼️
