Here's some comfort food that is quick and easy, particularly for those homebound by the cold weather! This is soooo good and reminds me of my childhood, unlike the packaged kind! Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
3 tbsp. (packed) cornstarch |
1 teaspoon all purpose flour |
pinch of salt |
2 cups cold, low-fat (1% or 2%) milk |
1 tsp. unsalted butter |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1/8 tsp. almond extract |
Directions:
1. Mix first 5 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan.
2. Add 1 cup milk and whisk to dissolve cornstarch.
3. Whisk in remaining milk.
4. Whisk mixture over medium heat until thickened and beginning to simmer, about 5 minutes.
5. Simmer 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Remove from heat.
7. Stir in butter, vanilla and almond extracts.
8. Divide pudding among 4 custard cups.
9. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
10. Can be made one day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
11. To avoid a “skin” forming on the top of your pudding, cover pudding by putting a piece of wax paper directly onto the top of the pudding surface.
