Amazing Chocolate Pudding
Make this amazing chocolate pudding and you will not be disappointed. It is pretty simple to make. The flavor is rich and satisfying. You won’t reach for that box of instant pudding after you taste this.
You will need ...
- Whole Milk, 2 1/4 Cups
- Granulated Sugar, 1/2 Cup
- Cocoa Powder, 1/4 Cup
- Dark Cocoa Powder, 1/4 Cup
- Cornstarch, 4 tsp
- Egg Yolks, 3 each
- Vanilla Extract, 2 tsp
- Salt, 1/4 tsp
Step One
In a heavy bottomed pot, pour in 1 1/2 Cups milk, the sugar, and the cocoa powders. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir with a spatula to help combine. Grab a ladle, too.
Step Two
While the liquid on the stove is heating, whisk together the remaining milk, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks in a medium bowl.
Step Three
When the mixture of the stove begins to have small simmer bubbles, pull it off the heat. with one hand, ladle in some of the hot liquid into the medium bowl with the eggs while the other hand lightly whisks the liquids together. Pour in one more ladle of hot liquid. This is bringing the egg mixture up to temperature with the pot liquid so the eggs do not curdle.
Step Four
Pour the bowl liquid back into the pot and return the pot to the heat. Continue to cook over medium heat while constantly whisking gently. The mixture will begin to thicken. When it begins to bubble, lower the heat a little and continue whisking for about 3-5 minutes.
Step Five
Once the mixture is at pudding consistency, remove the pot from the stove and pour the liquid into a square glass dish to cool. Cover with plastic wrap close to the surface to prevent a skin from developing. Let cool in the fridge until ready to use.
Enjoy!
Serve the pudding in a dish with a topping of whipped cream and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips or sprinkles. The pudding will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days.
