Chocolate Pudding

Here’s a tried and true old-timer.

Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 3/4 cups whole milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a saucepan, stir together sugar, cocoa, corn starch and salt.  Place over medium heat and stir in milk.  Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.

Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.  Let cool briefly and serve warm with whipped topping, or chill in the fridge until serving.
