Homemade Chocolate Pudding from Maria's Kitchen

Printed from: www.grandmotherskitchen.net

Ingredients

Makes 2 cups pudding (4 1/2 cup size servings)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups whole milk (or you can use a lower percent fat milk, almond milk or other non-dairy milk of your choosing)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 Tablespoon butter, at room temperature

2 ounces dark chocolate, use a good quality bittersweet, finely chopped

Directions

1. Measure the sugar, salt and cornstarch into a medium size saucepan and stir to combine.

2. Stir in the milk.

3. Turn the heat onto medium and heat the mixture, stirring to dissolve and combine all the ingredients.

4. Continue to cook and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil.

5. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the mixture is ready so the bottom does not scorch. If it does scorch, strain through a fine metal sieve.

6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.

7. Add the finely chopped chocolate to the hot mixture and stir to combine.

8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

ENJOY!
