Description
A delicious homemade chocolate pudding that’s easy to make and perfect for dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons (12g) corn starch
- 3 tablespoons (15g) cocoa powder
- 2 cups (474ml) milk (whole, 2%, or nonfat)
- ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, diced
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Whisk sugars, cornstarch, and cocoa in a medium saucepan.
- Whisk in milk and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking often. A boil means large popping bubbles. The cornstarch needs to boil to activate.
- Once it boils, whisk constantly for several minutes, until the mixture thickens. (Note: it won’t get really thick, just thicker, like a thick soup.)
- Stir in chocolate chips and butter and whisk until melted.
- Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl.
- Cover the top of the pudding with wax paper (the paper should be touching the pudding). Let cool for about 15 minutes at room temp, then chill until it’s cold and firms up, about 4-6 hours.
Notes
- Allows for easy substitutions with different types of milk.
- Can be served warm or chilled according to preference.
