Recipe: Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups low fat or non fat milk
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation

In a medium, heavy-bottomed sauce pan, stir together sugar, cocoa powder and cornstarch. Turn heat to medium high. Gradually add milk and stir constantly until pudding begins to boil and thicken, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, add bittersweet chocolate and continue heating 5 minutes more until pudding is completely thickened. Remove from heat, let cool 5 minutes. Add vanilla and pour into pudding cups. Eat immediately or refrigerate.

Tips
