BEST HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING



Best Homemade Chocolate Pudding image

As proof of my lifelong love of chocolate, I give you the recipe that is listed in my baby book as my favorite food. I still request it every year for my birthday, and I make it for St. Patrick's Day, but it's rich and creamy any day. I used to make it for an after-school "snack" when I was in junior high. Pour milk over your serving or slather whipped cream. Sprinkle toasted slivered almonds for added yumminess. I suggest small portions, especially for children. My kids love to lick the pan when I'm done. I've also had great success with this recipe in making a chocolate pie with a vanilla wafer crust (sprinkle vanilla wafer crumbs on top)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use a cocoa powder that has a fat content of at least 20%.
  • Make sure to whisk the cocoa powder and sugar together until they are well combined. This will help to prevent the cocoa powder from clumping.
  • Bring the milk and sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help to dissolve the sugar and prevent the milk from scorching.
  • Once the milk mixture has come to a boil, remove it from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Return the saucepan to the heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This will help to thicken the pudding.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve the pudding cold, topped with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or fruit.
