Homemade chocolate pudding beats box pudding any day. This recipe calls for sugar, salt, cream of tartar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla. All simple ingredients that are sitting around in your cupboard. To make it an even better delectable treat, top it off with some fresh whipping cream. This recipe is easy to portion for 4 generous servings or 6-8 smaller servings. Recipe adapted from Betty Crockers Homemade Chocolate Pudding.
Pull Together:
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 egg yolks
Whipped cream, if desired
Steps:
In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt with whisk. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until pudding boils and is thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 minutes longer.
Remove from heat; gently stir in vanilla. Whisk the egg yolks slightly, and gradually tempure the eggs with the chocolate mixture with half of the chocolate. Then slowly pour back into the chocolate mixture. Pour into large bowl; cover surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm, or refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with whipped cream.
