Viral Boiled Egg Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs (Cooled completely before blending; use hard-boiled rather than soft-boiled eggs.)
• 0.667 cup whole milk (Add more for a creamier consistency, if desired.)
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar (Light brown sugar or powdered sugar may be substituted; when substituting, start with less and add more as needed.)
• 0.333 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Unsweetened cocoa powder is recommended; Dutch-process cocoa may provide a deeper chocolate flavor.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

1. 1

   Make sure the hard-boiled eggs have cooled completely before using them. Add the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a high-powered blender.

2. 2

   Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender once or twice as needed. Add more milk if a creamier consistency is desired.

3. 3

   Serve the pudding immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for a few hours. The pudding will thicken slightly as it cools, and its flavor and texture are best after chilling.

Notes

Use hard-boiled eggs, not soft-boiled eggs; the source recommends boiling eggs for at least 7 minutes. For the best result, cool the eggs in an ice bath before blending and refrigerate the pudding for several hours. The source also notes that chilling overnight can reduce any initial eggy flavor. Optional variations mentioned by the source include blending in one peeled and pitted medium avocado or adding 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with a splash of extra milk; these are not included in the base recipe.
