CREAMY CHOCOLATE PUDDING
INGREDIENTS:
5 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar (I usually use about 1/2 cup plus 1 - 1 1/4 Tbsp)
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso (if not available, can use instant coffee)
2 cups low-fat milk (can use regular milk, if desired)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Sift all dry ingredients together in bowl and mix until combined.
Place mixture in a medium saucepan.
Stir in just enough milk to make a smooth paste.
Gradually mix in remaining milk.(I use a wire whisk).
Cook over medium heat and stir slowly and constantly until mixture begins to thicken and boil. Let it boil another 30 seconds, gently stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla.
Pour pudding into 3 or 4 serving dishes and chill until set, about 4-5 hours.
3-4 servings
