Chocolate Pudding
Description
The Chocolate Pudding recipe combines cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and evaporated milk, whisked together to ensure a lump-free base. Cooking this mixture over heat until it thickens produces a custard-like texture. Adding vanilla extract and butter at the end enriches the flavor and mouthfeel. Chilling the pudding before serving helps it set, delivering a smooth and creamy consistency with an intense chocolate flavor. This pudding can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for layered desserts.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups evaporated milk

Instructions
- Whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, salt and milk together well in a large pot before turning the heat on, making sure there are no lumps.

Notes
