Chocolate Pudding Recipe From Scratch
Ingredients
Making homemade chocolate pudding from scratch is easier than it sounds! For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 1/2 cups of whole or 2% milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate.
Instructions
To make the pudding, start by combining the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk the ingredients together to combine. Then, slowly pour the milk into the pan while whisking to combine. Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the pudding is thick and creamy.
Next, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and everything is well combined. Pour the pudding into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming on top. Allow the pudding to cool completely before serving.
