SILLY EASY CHOCOLATE CREME DE MENTHE PUDDING



Silly Easy Chocolate Creme De Menthe Pudding image

I was making up a box of sugar free pudding and spotted the bottle of creme de menthe on the shelf. It wouldn't let me ignore it and I thought 'hmm, I wonder' and added a bit into the mix. It worked and turned normal chocolate pudding into something lush tasting. I could see it being the base of easy 'grown up' parfaits and that sort of thing too.

Provided by Sarah_Jayne

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (1 1/2 ounce) box fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups nonfat milk, very cold
1 1/2 tablespoons creme de menthe

Steps:

  • Pour 2 cups of cold fat free milk into large bowl.
  • Empty chocolate pudding powder into milk and use a wire whisk to just combine.
  • Add in the creme de menthe and then whisk for 2 minutes until all lumps are gone.
  • Cover and put into the fridge for 5 minutes. It should be set but if not just give it another couple minutes.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pudding will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook the pudding just until it reaches a simmer, then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the pudding to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and creamy pudding that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
