Description
Discover Why Chocolate Pudding Is the Ultimate Comfort Dessert
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar (sweet tooth? Go with 1/2 cup!)
- 3 heaping tablespoons Cocoa Powder (and I mean really heaped)
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- A pinch of Salt
- 2 3/4 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- A generous splash of Vanilla (real vanilla is a game-changer here)
Instructions
- Toss the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt into a saucepan.
- Whisk it all together until any clumps vanish.
- Pour in the milk while whisking to keep everything smooth and happy.
- Set the pan over medium heat and stir patiently; this is where the magic happens. As it warms up, the mixture will thicken.
- Once it starts bubbling, keep stirring for another minute or so.
- It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until silky.
- If you can wait, let it cool. To avoid that weird skin forming on top, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
- Or, if patience isn’t your strong suit, dunk the bowl in some ice water and stir it to cool it down faster.
- Serve it warm or cold, both ways are equally dreamy.
- Whether it’s for a dinner party or a quiet night in, this chocolate pudding hits the spot every time.
