Ingredients Overview
This recipe calls for just 6 basic ingredients, nothing fancy. These ingredients are very easy to work with and are super beginner-friendly. This paneer chocolate pudding is already eggless and 100% vegetarian, but you can easily make it vegan by replacing paneer with tofu and the milk with a plant based alternative. I have used milk chocolate to make this recipe as I wanted to make it more kid-friendly, however you can easily swap it for dark chocolate if that’s what you prefer.
Richa’s Top Tips To Make The Best Paneer Chocolate Pudding
- I highly recommend making your own homemade paneer for the best flavor and texture. However, store-bought paneer works too. If using store-bought, make sure to get malai paneer as that delivers richer and creamier results.
- Be careful while melting chocolate as it tends to burn very easily. Always microwave chocolate in 15 second spurts and stop when 80% of the chocolate has melted, as it’ll continue melting due to residual heat

Hey Jim, Thats sounds awesome. so so glad you liked the recipe.
Hi, tried this for my party last weekend. It was super easy to make and tasty too. I added a bit of coffee, which enhanced the chocolate flavor.
Yaaay! that’s awesome Jeena, so so happy you loved the recipe.
Hi, I tried this and it came out well. It is super easy. You had posted a picture with white pudding and cocoa dusting. There is no way we will get white color if you add chocolate and cocoa powder. Is that from another recipe?
Hey Jeena, so so glad you liked the recipe. the picture I have posted is from the same recipe. on top of cocoa powder dusting, I have added whipped cream as an additional topping (optional) only.
