Author Notes: Do you know how easy it is to make chocolate pudding from scratch? No? Well, I just made some the other day, and you should know that it is incredibly easy (only a few ingredients, with minimal whisking effort) and quick to make (10 minutes of actual work). It’s a perfect night-time snack, when you’ve got that chocolate craving.
While I still drink regular milk when it’s around, I’ve converted to almond milk as my go-to for cereal, so that’s what I buy most often. Except when Coconut-Almond milk is on sale. Have you tried it? It’s heavenly and oh so creamy tasting!
So, I made my chocolate pudding with vanilla almond milk, and it was good. You should try it yourself. Or use regular milk. It will still be good! —FirstTimeFoods
Serves: 7
Ingredients
-
1/3
cup cocoa powder
-
3/4
cup sugar
-
pinch of salt
-
1/4
cup cornstarch
-
3
cups milk (soy, almond, coconut, or cow’s)
-
1 1/2
teaspoons vanilla
-
1
tablespoon butter
Directions
- In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and cornstarch, until there are no lumps. If you have a wire strainer, you can use this to strain the dry ingredients of any lumps.
- Stir in the milk and the vanilla, whisking constantly.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent it from boiling over.
- Turn the heat down to low and bring to a simmer. Pudding will start to thicken.
- Cover and cook for 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
- Pour pudding into individual ramekins.
- If you don’t enjoy the ‘skin’ that forms as pudding cools, use plastic wrap to cover the pudding. Place the plastic wrap directly in touch with the pudding.
- Place pudding in the fridge for ~1 hour to thicken.
- Grab a spoon and enjoy!
