A Brief History of Chocolate Pudding
The origins of chocolate pudding date back to the 18th century when it was first concocted as a steamed dish in Britain. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the dessert evolved into the smooth, creamy pudding we know today, thanks to advancements in dairy production and refrigeration. In America, chocolate pudding became a household name with the advent of instant pudding mixes in the mid-1900s, making it easier than ever to whip up this sweet treat in minutes.
