Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cocoa
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Make chocolate pudding

  • Step 1
    In a medium saucepan, sift together brown sugar, corn starch, salt, and cocoa.
  • Step 2
    Whisk in the milk until combined. Turn the heat to medium/medium-low and continue whisking and stirring.
  • Step 3
    Bring to a full boil and then reduce to a simmer while whisking and stirring. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
  • Step 4
    Pour the pudding into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding. This will keep a skin from forming on the pudding. For best results, chill for several hours.
  • Step 5
    Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
