Yesterday I stumbled across a very easy homemade chocolate pudding recipe, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Finally around 8:00 PM I broke down and made it. I am so glad I did! It is delicious, and it is a great way to ease a chocolate craving without getting out of control.
Hasty Chocolate Pudding {from AllRecipes.com}
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbs cornstarch {I used 3 tbs flour, and it worked fabulously}
- 2 cups milk
- tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.
- Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.
*note: Make sure that the plastic wrap is touching the pudding so a skin doesn’t form.
Grade: A-
Comments: It is very good, and it definitely will satisfy a chocolate craving while not being overly bad for you. I think it would be great with bananas or probably even apples. You should definitely try it! I know I’ll be making it again and again.
