If you're fortunate enough to have fond memories of your mother's or grandmother's homemade chocolate pudding like I do, you probably seldom if ever touch the processed stuff.
There's really no need...so long as you keep the recipe simple. I'm no expert, but I think today I finally stumbled upon the keeper recipe. It's by Kelly Powers at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Cornstarch-Pudding/Detail.aspx. And, chances are, you have all the ingredients you'll need already on hand.
Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a saucepan, stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Place over medium heat, and stir in milk. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat, and stir in margarine and vanilla. Let cool briefly, and serve warm, or chill in refrigerator until serving.
We ate this pudding cold, warm, and warm with a dab of milk (just like my dad did). How do you prefer your pudding?
