boiled egg Chocolate pudding (small dairy free recipe)

This is a small recipe for boiled egg chocolate pudding. It’s the perfect dairy free treat that is healthy and kid friendly. It’s sugar free, gluten free and my toddler loves it for a snack!

If you are like me, you heard a lot about the viral hard boiled egg pudding, and were hesitant to try it. So you waited and finally broke down and tried it for yourself. I did this with both the boiled egg pudding and dalgona coffee. And I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

Ingredients Needed for Pudding

• Hard boiled eggs: 5 boiled eggs peeled and cooled. After boiling submerge in ice water to cool which will help prevent the sulphuric smell from occurring
• Coconut milk: Canned coconut milk works best. I haven’t tested it with other types of milk like almond milk or oat milk but both should work.
  Just use a bit less milk to make sure your pudding thickens properly.
• Honey: I have used both raw honey and maple syrup in this recipe. Both work great. You could also sub in raw cane sugar or use brown sugar.
• Pink Himalayan salt: Or use any type of salt.
• Cocoa powder: Make sure it’s unsweetened cocoa powder. 
• Espresso powder: This is optional but really enhances the chocolate flavour. If you omit just add in a teaspoon of vanilla. 

Why Espresso Powder? 

Other recipes use pure vanilla extract and cinnamon to flavour the pudding. I prefer this combination of honey, unsweetened cocoa and espresso powder. The espresso brings out the rich flavour of chocolate. 

And personally when it comes to making chocolate recipes like a dairy free brownie or a mug brownie, I find that vanilla is not a necessary ingredient. Chocolate is so rich and delicious on its own that I often don’t notice the difference when vanilla is added to a recipe.

How to Boil Eggs

How to Boil eggs: First off, boil your eggs. They can be soft boiled eggs for this recipe. 

• In a medium sized pot, bring 3-4 inches of water to boil.
• Then add room temperature eggs to the boiling water.
• I cook them on high for 5 minutes.
• Then remove the pot from the heat, cover with a lid, and let them sit 9-10 minutes.
• Drain the hot water and then add cold water to your pot of eggs. I drain the first cold water off and add more back in to cool them faster.
• This results in eggs that peel perfectly for me.

How to Make Viral Hard Boiled Egg Pudding 

Boil Eggs: First off boil and peel your eggs.

Add Ingredients to Blender: measure out your ingredients and add them all to your blender. Blend on high until fully combined.
You may need to scrape the sides once or twice to make sure everything gets finely blended. 

Refrigerate: You can eat it right away but I find it’s best to refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. That way it is chilled and thickened before you enjoy it.

Boiled Egg Pudding for Meal Prep 

We have our own chickens, so two things I make weekly for my meal prep are this dairy free boiled egg pudding recipe and deviled eggs. 

I make one or two small recipes and store them in 4oz jars for up to a week. It’s the perfect snack or breakfast for my 1 year old. Or my husband and I often have one for our late night eating habit. 

Meal Prep: Make pudding & store in small containers in the fridge for up to a week. 

I use these 4oz glass jars that I got off Amazon.  This recipe makes five 4oz servings.

How to Store

Store your egg pudding in a sealed glass container in the fridge. Keep in the fridge for 5-6 days.
