Chocolate Sour Cream Pudding

Stir the pudding mixture while cooking to prevent lumps and burning.

Let the cooked pudding mixture cool slightly before adding the sour cream, so the sour cream doesn't curdle.

Gently fold in the sour cream to avoid deflating the pudding.

Chill the pudding in individual serving dishes for a convenient and elegant presentation.

Experiment with toppings like chocolate shavings, toasted nuts, or a caramel drizzle for variety.

For a lighter version, substitute half of the sour cream with Greek yogurt.

Can I use instant pudding mix instead of cook and serve?

Not with this particular recipe as it involves cooking the pudding. You could simply add sour cream to prepared instant pudding for a simple hack.

Is it possible to make this pudding with a different flavor?

Yes, you can use a different flavor of pudding mix, but chocolate pairs best with sour cream.

Can I use low-fat or non-fat sour cream?

Yes, but full-fat sour cream gives a richer flavor and creamier texture.

How do I prevent a skin from forming on the pudding?

Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface before chilling.

How long does this pudding need to chill?

Chill for at least one hour, but for best results, chill for 2-3 hours or overnight.

Can I freeze this pudding?

Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and consistency.

What are some serving suggestions?

Serve with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
