Homemade Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 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

1. 1

   --- To make homemade pudding: ---

2. 2

   Whisk sugars, cornstarch, and cocoa in a medium sauce pan. 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.

3. 3

   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.)

4. 4

   Stir in chocolate chips and butter and whisk until melted. Remove from heat, whisk in vanilla. Transfer to a heat safe bowl.

5. 5

   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.
