Quick Chocolate Pudding

I actually found this recipe online and it called for just microwaving the pudding mixture until it formed the correct texture. Many people complained about how long it took, so I opted to just put it over a double broiler and VOILA! Quick chocolate pudding!

Yields: 6 servings

Ingredients:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp. cornstarch
2 cups whole milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Heat up a medium sized saucepan filled with 1 cup of water on medium-high. Allow it to come to a boil.

2. In the meantime, in a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch until thoroughly mixed. Whisk in milk a little at a time to avoid lumps.

3. Once the water is boiling, lower the heat to medium and place the bowl on top of the saucepan.
It should fit right on top and not fall to the bottom of the pan.

Constantly stir the mixture as it heats up and is should thicken and become shiny in about 3-4 minutes. Take the pudding off the heat and turn off the stove.

Once the bowl is cool enough, place a piece of plastic wrap right on top of the chocolate pudding so that it will not form a crust on top. Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours if you want it cold.

*Extra step: I added marshmallow fluff to my pudding, torched it, then added graham crumbs on top! DELICIOUS!
