How To Make home made chocolate pudding
-
Step 1That's it... those are the directions she wrote...
-
Step 2For those of us who need a little more direction: Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks then set aside
-
Step 3In a small bowl, mix the 2 heaping Tbsp of corn starch with 1/4 C of the cold milk until the corn starch dissolves and there are no lumps (a wooden spoon is good for this part because you can use it to smush the corn starch on the sides of the bowl to get rid of lumps)
-
Step 4Add the cornstarch mix and the rest of the milk, sugar, butter, and chocolate to the double boiler and bring to a low boil -- stirring constantly -- when the pudding thickens, remove from heat
-
Step 5G-r-a-d-u-a-l-l-y beat 1 cup of hot cocoa mixture into the beaten egg whites then pour this mixture back into pan.
-
Step 6Cook over double boiler for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat.
-
Step 7Add vanilla; blend well. Pour the finished pudding into your serving dishes and cool to room temperature. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
