Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake recipe is no bake cheesecake meets chocolate pudding is the perfect dessert for Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

I made Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake last week when I was having a massive dilemma..

I was craving chocolate pudding, and cheesecake, but wanted something that didn't take hours to make like traditional cheesecake. So I finally decided on Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake, since one of the most requested desserts in our house is Banana Pudding Cheesecake.

I figured it would be equally as delish, and I was right. The cream cheese adds a certain richness without being overly sweet which I love, and the family does too.

I made the Chocolate Pudding from scratch because that's usually what I do, and it really doesn't save that much time using a chocolate pudding box. Plus I like a pretty prominent chocolate flavor that can only be achieved with a scratch pudding.

It ended up tasting like magic in a pie plate rich, creamy, smooth, with the best chocolate pudding meets no bake cheesecake. If you're a serious chocolate lover it will probably leave you a little weak in the knees.

Flaky Pie Crust for Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake.

First off you will need one 9" Baked Pie Crust. I used my Flaky Pie Crust recipe, but Sour Cream Pie Crust, Gluten Free Pie Crust, Graham Cracker Pie Crust used in Banana Pudding Cheesecake or even this Oreo Cookie Crust used in Peanut Butter Fudge Pie would be good.

Sugar, Flour, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Salt to make Chocolate Pudding for Cheesecake.

In a medium sized saucepan add:
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Homemade Chocolate Pudding mixture in saucepan for Cheesecake.

Whisk together until well combined.

3 Egg Yolks in Glass Mixing Cup.

Separate 3 Egg Yolks, and whisk yolks until well combined.

Milk whisked into egg yolks for Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake.

Whisk 2 3/4 cup Whole Milk into egg yolks, and whisk, until well combined.

Note: I have just recently started making pudding this way, and find it even easier than tempering the eggs which I had traditionally done, after a reader had suggested it.

Pouring milk and eggs into chocolate pudding mixture.

Slowly pour the milk mixture into dry ingredients, while whisking to prevent lumps.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat while whisking making sure to consistently scrape sides, and bottom of pan to prevent scorching.

Stir vanilla into Chocolate Pudding.

Cook until chocolate pudding is thick, and holds stir lines. It's important to cook pudding mixture long enough for a cuttable pie that holds shape. 

Stir in 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract.

Whipped Cream Cheese for Chocolate Pudding Cheesecake.

Beat 16 ounces Room Temperature Cream Cheese until light, fluffy, and smooth. 

Scrape sides of bowl, and beaters often to prevent lumps.

  2. This looks delicious! I love all your pudding pies. I could see making this one into a banana chocolate pie by adding banana slices to the bottom. Or, making a s'mores pie by adding marshmallows. Oh, the possibilities. Especially when you start with something as yummy as this.
