Making pudding from scratch is extremely simple. How good it tastes depends on the quality of the chocolate used, but even with basic grocery store supplies, it's far better than the boxed stuff. To make a richer pudding, substitute cream; for variety, mix in orange zest, espresso powder, kirsch, etc. Ingredients:
2 tbsp cornstarch (3 tbsp if planning to serve immediately) |
2 tbsp sugar |
2 tbsp cocoa powder |
2 c whole milk |
4 oz chocolate, chopped |
1 tsp vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, mix together cornstarch, sugar, and cocoa until blended. Add milk.
2. Whisking constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Boil, whisking, for 2 minutes, or until mixture becomes thick.
4. Remove from heat, and whisk in chocolate pieces and vanilla.
5. Transfer pudding to a bowl and cool in the refrigerator with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed to the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
