Yesterday seemed like a comfort food dessert kind of day. I was home from work and decided that I'd go in search of a very easy, quick chocolate pudding recipe. I found this one by Kelly Thompson via All Recipes.
It took longer to get the ingredients assembled than it did to make the pudding. I caught a picture of a friend sprinkling a little powdered sugar over the top of one of the pudding cups. This was silky, smooth and just what I wanted.
1/2 cup white sugar
3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 t. salt
2 3/4 cups whole milk
2 T. butter, room temperature
1 t. vanilla extract
In a saucepan, stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Place over medium heat and stir in the 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 butter and vanilla. Let cool briefly and serve warm or chill in the refrigerator until serving. If you place it in the fridge, cover with plastic wrap (pressed gently against the pudding) to prevent "skin" from forming on top.
