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), 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. 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.

I would like to try this but what could I use instead of sugar please
Hi Carol! I haven’t tested a substitute, honey should work but you may need to adjust the amount since it’s liquid. Check below for comments from my viewers, it seems like some have tested monk fruit and other substitutes.
The taste is great. However the smell of boiled eggs turned me off.
Has anyone found a way to mask it?
Hi Elaine. Let it chill for a few hours in the refrigerator before consuming. This will help.
That is exactly what I did, I cannot believe the difference. It is amazing!!! Thank you. My daughter is pregnant and wondering if I can make this without refined sugar. What would you suggest
Hello! You can check the comments section at the bottom as I saw others shared that they used different substitutes for sugar and it worked for them.
I made this with heavy whipping cream and monk fruit. Turned out great!
If you do not mind me asking, how much monk fruit did you add? I would love to try this but with a natural sugar substitute.
I used monk fruit as well, and it was a 1 for 1 substitution. It worked great! Love this recipe.
I must admit I had doubts! This was really quite good. I made 1/2 the recipe and used coconut milk and instead of sugar, I used a scoop of my favorite protein powder. ( not intentionally changing it’s just what I had on hand). Blended well, scraped, added a tiny bit more liquid, blended again. The result is a thick creamy pudding that absolutely does not smell or taste like egg. Great recipe, Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that with us. I’m glad it exceeded your expectations.
Can you make this using Stevia? We are both diabetics so looking for a recipe that is healther.
Hi Jackie, I have not tested this with stevia to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
I’ve made this twice: the first time it turned out AMAZING and was immediately dubbed as our family’s favorite chocolate pudding. However, the second time I made it, it tasted super burnt (almost precisely like burnt popcorn), and I have no idea why! If anyone has ideas, I’d love to hear! The only changes I made were making the hard boiled eggs in an Instant Pot instead of on the stove, and I doubled the recipe. (We checked to make sure the eggs hadn’t gone bad.)
Hi Jessica! That’s odd. Usually that happens when scorching the milk or chocolate but since we do not heat milk or chocolate in this recipe, I’m not sure what caused it. Did you use a different cocoa powder the second batch, or are you using a low quality cocoa?
Thank you for the ideas! The cocoa was the same brand both times, so I don’t think it that. My mom’s suggestion was that perhaps the blender actually generated heat when trying to mix the larger second batch, and the cocoa or something got burnt that way. Do you think that could be it?
That would make sense.
Were your boiled eggs still really hot? Maybe that changed the taste?
Amazing reciepe great for kids healthy diet plan.
Can I replace milk with yoghurt?
Hello! You can do that but keep in mind the consistency and taste will change. Yogurt is thicker and tangier than milk, so the pudding may become a bit creamier with a slight tang.
Amazing reciepe great for kids healthy diet plan
you can also use soft scrambled eggs, or even soft scrambled egg whites in case you don’t have hard boiled eggs on hand…..
Hello from Australia 😉 I was intrigued and gave it a try. Surprised how good it is! I added cinnamon, a pinch of salt and tiny bit of rum which masked eggy smell. Chilled in a fridge also made it more pudding like. Thank you for the recipe, it is my go to dessert with more protein. I may try this with dates instead of sugar next time.
Hi Kay! I’m so excited this recipe reached you all the way in Australia! Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful review with me.
Not great, but not horrible. The eggs I used were organic brown eggs and not overcooked. I used organic whole milk. There is a definite egg taste. It does have a pudding consistency. And a rich chocolate flavor. I may make again, for myself. It would not be served to dinner guests.
Ok I did it and it was Husband approved, I only have a food processor and it worked,, I just did it longer , I did add more sugar and more vanilla, and I have chickens o I did have more brown and gray eggs and it did have a. But more sulfur smell but other that that it’s great.
Mine ended we up liquid and still tastes like eggs. I added 3/4 cup of milk and consistency isn’t fluffy
HI Olga, if you use eggs that are overcooked and have a green or blue tinged yolk, they will smell more sulfurous. Check out our tutorial on how to make perfect hard boiled eggs to prevent overcooking.
I’m the husband of an Idaho girl living in Tennessee. I was skeptical but LOVE my chocolate pudding— so — we gave it a whirl! WOW— now that was a big surprise! Very tasty! Old dogsm really can learn new tricks! Thanks for sharing— pretty amazing! Going to the store to buy ore eggs! Might have to get us some chickens!
I was just as surprised initially. I’m so happy you loved it, Tim! Its a great way to get that extra protein.
Just tried this interesting recipe, and loved it! Can’t believe you can make such lovely desert from boiled eggs 🙂 I added honey (less than the amount recommended and it was yummy. Thank you!
Hi Zed! Thanks for the wonderful feedback. So glad you loved it.
After I tried this It only makes a Serving for One
Serving size is 6 people (makes 2 cups pudding)
Do you think it would work using almond milk and sweetener instead of sugar?
Hi Margie! Yes, you can use almond milk. I haven’t tested any alternatives for the sugar but I think that would be fine.
Can you switch out the whole milk to almond milk or skin? And the sugar
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.
