Homemade Dessert Anyone Can Make
Chocolate pudding from scratch is really simple to make and is so much better than the store-bought stuff. Once you try this recipe, I guarantee you will never use a boxed recipe again (no matter how quick it is to make).
Step By Step Instructions
Add the cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt and sugar to a saucepan. Then whisk it together with Ithe milk, egg yolks, and vanilla. Cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Add the chocolate. While continuing to constantly mix, bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more. Stir in the butter. Pour the pudding into 6 small glasses or ramekins. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the pudding and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
