Homemade Chocolate Pudding

We love chocolate pudding in this house! With just a few ingredients you can make it from scratch. The kids and hubby gave it a 2 thumbs up, that's always a good sign. We used cool whip and chocolate shavings as the topping, but feel free to use your own, fruit would be delicious!

Ingredients:

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1/4 cup Cornstarch

1/2 tsp Salt

4 cups cold Whole Milk

2 tbsp Unsalted Butter

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt until combined.

2. Add in the milk, whisking until no lumps remain.

3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until it thickens.

4. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla.

5. Allow mixture to cool completely, stirring occasionally to avoid a skin forming.

6. Pour into individual serving glasses. Enjoy warm or chill until ready to serve.

7. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or fruit.
