Chocolate Pudding Recipe
Chocolate pudding is a dessert made by combining sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. The ingredients are typically whisked together and then heated over medium heat until thickened to form a creamy, rich, and delicious pudding. It can be served warm or chilled and is a popular dessert choice for both children and adults.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz chocolate, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir in the milk and cream, making sure to mix until there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook and whisk for 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- If using, stir in the chopped chocolate until it is fully melted and the pudding is smooth.
- Pour the pudding into a large bowl or individual cups or glasses.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set and chilled.
- Serve and enjoy!
Note: You can also add additional ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit to the pudding for added flavor and texture. You can also use milk chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate for a sweeter pudding.
