Chocolate budino will blow any pudding recipe out of the water!! Budino is similar to pudding, but it’s made with lots and eggs and no cornstarch. I’m not too fond of recipes with corn starch at the thickener because it tends to be super thick and have a chalky aftertaste, even when cooked properly. Well, my friends, the Italians know what they are doing. Budino is Italian’s version of pudding, and it is rich, thick, and packed with flavor.
