Homemade pudding is far better than the store bought variety from a box or premade in a plastic cup. It's so EASY to make, you'll wonder why you didn't make it sooner! I used fat-free milk, reduced sugar compared to other recipes, and a handful of dark chocolate chips is optional. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 Cup white granulated sugar
- 1/3 Cup cocoa powder
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 Cups fat-free milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- A handful of dark chocolate chips
(just under a 1/4 cup - optional)
DIRECTIONS:
- Mix the first 4 dry ingredients in a medium sized saucepan
- Begin to heat on medium and add
milk slowly while stirring almost
constantly
- The pudding should begin to
thicken in about 10 minutes
- Remove from heat and stir in
vanilla extract and optional
chocolate chips until melted
- Divide into 4 small dessert bowls
and chill for about 2 hours
