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.

Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, *
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup whole milk, or added to desired consistency*
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until completely creamy and smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice as needed. Add more milk for a creamier consistency.
- You can enjoy it right away, but for best flavor and texture, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a few hours. It will thicken up slightly as it cools.
Really good. At first grainy and not a great consistency or taste but left in fridge overnight and turned out great. No egg smell, and tastes exactly like chocolate pudding. Great recipe!
Turned out great! I just added a pinch of salt and instead of sugar I blended 3 medjool dates for sweetness.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Teresa!
Not bad. when initially blending it up it had a weird consistency, grainy and runny. I kept blending and eventually it will smooth and thicken up. Very strong egg smell, but it does dissipate while you refrigerate it. I always have eggs, so easy recipe to make a healthier dessert.
I really wanted to like this because it sounded so simple and easy, but it had a weird unfinished flavor, even after refrigerating it.
BUT THEN, i was looking for other recipes about this pudding because the concept was pretty awesome and i found one where salt and cinnamon were added. coconut milk was used instead of regular milk. i also added cayenne pepper because i’m a strong believer that chocolate and cayenne are an inseparable pair. These changes/additions made it extremely DELICIOUS!
Hi Faith, those substitutions sound great and thanks for sharing! I wonder if it just needed a bit more milk – it’s easy to add more at the end even when it’s out of the blender, it blends in nicely.
Thank you for the recipe. Can’t wait to make it!!!
Let us know how it turns out!
I tried this and it actually tastes like chocolate pudding! It’s rich, delicious and creamy. After I blended the mixture, it did smell a little “eggy”, however once I chilled it in the fridge for a few hours it really developed a nice smooth and gelatinous texture that is just like the Snack Pack chocolate pudding that I grew up eating. I didn’t feel guilty about eating a serving for breakfast. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I wonder if the egg smell might happen if eggs are slightly overcooked? Hard-boiled eggs can smell ‘eggy’ or like sulfur when overcooked – the science behind this is because of a reaction between the iron in the egg yolk and sulfur in the egg white. I hope that helps for next time!
Love most all your recipes I could taste the eggs I did not have fresh farm eggs
sorry, this was a total fail, while I loved your chicken pot pie, this egg smell was atrocious and I used ORGANIC EGGS AND ORGANIC MILK and stunk like eggs!
so a total waste of organic products. oh man, I dumped it, who wants sulphur-smelling pudding. Natasha, this was a fail. and I used stevia and lots of vanilla to avoid the sugar – ugh. I hate wasting organics!
One of our readers shared this comment “At first I could still smell the eggs. But mine are farm fresh eggs so they might be stronger tasting. I added more cocoa powder to taste and it came out rich creamy and delicious!”
I feel you, what a total fail!!!
The smell was just awful. Maybe my sense of smell is very strong
Hi Alla! I wonder if the egg smell might happen if eggs are slightly overcooked? Hard-boiled eggs can smell ‘eggy’ or like sulfur when overcooked.
Did you chill it for a while first? The egg smell goes away after I chilled it for an hour or two. My friends at work, and their grandkids, even like it. It’s been requested for a wedding reception!!
How is this even possible? I made it this morning and it is delicious!!!
Right?! Mind blowing.
Hi Natasha, do you think I can substitute the sugar for maple syrup or honey?
I think that would be fine but keep in mind that since honey is liquid, you might need to adjust it slightly.
I thought it kept an egg salad smell. I added another 1/2 tsp vanilla that helped but I also thought it could use a little more sugar. It could have been my recipe because I used 2% milk.
I made this chocolate pudding today. At first I could still smell the eggs. But mine are farm fresh eggs so they might be stronger tasting. I added more cocoa powder to taste and it came out rich creamy and delicious!
I do not have a high powdered blender. Will I get the same result if I use a handheld mixer or a stand mixer? Is there a preferred substitute for a high-powered blender?
Thank you.
That should work too. Just make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumps. Hope you enjoy it!
I haven’t made this yet, but I’m thinking I could use allulose for a very very low carb dessert! I’ll report back when I try it!
We look forward to your feedback, Suzie!
Monk fruit is better option for no sugar spikes
Making now! If I’m using sweetened cocoa, can I just leave the sugar out? Or add ass needed?
I would add it as needed. Hope you enjoy!
