Chocolate Pudding...

It has been a while since I have shared a recipe. It will be a very warm weekend here and I don't feel like baking. This is such an easy chocolate pudding recipe, nothing fancy, but it is very good! I make it often, it is a family favorite. Enjoy!

Chocolate Pudding


1 cup sugar 
1/2 c. cocoa (regular or dutch)
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/2 t. salt


2 1/2 c. milk (I use 1%)


2 T. butter
2 t. vanilla extract


In medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Slowly add, while whisking the milk.
Place over medium high heat and whisk constantly until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and immediately add the butter and vanilla extract. Stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into a large bowl and cover with clear plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming while it cools. Refrigerate until set at least two hours.
