This is a great base recipe for chocolate pudding that isn't loaded with sugar and fat. This recipe could easily be adapted to be chocolate mint, chocolate raspberry, chocolate almond...the list goes on and on.
Ingredients, recipe adapted from Leanne Bakes
- 5 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups skim milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract1.) Bring 2 cups of milk to a boil, watch carefully so you do not burn the milk
2.) Whisk together the corn starch, cocoa powder, sugar and remaining milk
3.) Once the milk is boiling, slowly whisk in the cocoa mixture
4.) Reduce the heat to medium low and stir the pudding until it becomes thick
5.) Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine
6.) Once the pudding is thick remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter
7.) Pour the pudding into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that the plastic touches the surface of the pudding (this prevents a skin from forming)
8.) Refrigerate until the pudding is cold and thick
