Rich and Creamy Eggless Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Rich and Creamy Eggless Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, berries

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
2. Add Milk:
   • Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
3. Cook Mixture:
   • Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Simmer:
   • Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
5. Remove from Heat:
   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Cool:
   • Let the pudding cool for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
7. Chill:
   • Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring that the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set.
8. Serve:
   • Once chilled, serve the eggless chocolate pudding cold, topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or berries if desired.
