A Brief History of Chocolate Pudding
Chocolate pudding traces its roots to the 18th century, with the earliest printed recipe appearing around 1730.
It evolved from traditional English puddings, shifting from savory meat-based dishes to sweet treats as chocolate became more common in Europe.
By the 19th century, it was a staple in British cuisine.
In the 20th century, instant versions like Jell-O chocolate pudding, introduced in the 1930s, made it a household favorite.
