Chocolate Pudding
This is a classic chocolate pudding recipe just like Grandma used to make. Rich, creamy, and so easy to make!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cocoa
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1¼ cup 2% milk, separated
- 1 cup 18% table cream
- 3½ tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Stir together cornstarch and ¼ cup of milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, blend sugar, cocoa, salt, 1 cup of milk, and cream. Stir constantly until bubbles begin to form around edge and pudding begins to simmer gently. Reduce heat to low.
- Slowly pour cornstarch/milk mixture into simmering pudding, stirring constantly to keep pudding from burning. Stir until pudding thickens to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla and butter. Pour into serving dishes or large bowl. Cover pudding with cling wrap, pressing wrap directly onto the pudding to avoid a skin forming.
- Refrigerate until chilled. Serve with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
Notes
Pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
To make this pudding dairy-free, simply replace all milk and cream with dairy-free alternatives. Options include almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, and soy milk.
