Chocolate Pudding
Chocolate Pudding. Rich, decadent homemade chocolate pudding made with only 5 simple ingredients. The best chocolate pudding recipe!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- Pinch of Salt
- 3 cups Whole Milk
- 6 ounces High-Quality Chocolate Bars, chopped (Semi-sweet, dark, or milk. Most people Iike to use semisweet. My kids prefer to use 4 ounces of semi and 2 ounces of milk chocolate).
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Place sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place over medium-low heat. Slowly add whole milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly to keep lumps from forming. Continue to add all of the milk.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is thick enough to cover a back of a spoon.
- Add the chocolate chunks, a little at a time, whisking often. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until chocolate is melted and the mixture is thickened.
- Stir in vanilla extract. Pour it into a bowl and place Saran Wrap directly over the pudding to keep it from forming a skin. Let chill for 2-3 hours. To expedite the process, place the bowl in an ice-water bath.
- Serve chilled with freshly sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
