How to Make Chocolate Malted Pudding

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth.
  2. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup malted milk powder, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 1/2 cups of 1% lowfat milk, 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate (chopped), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened considerably and just begins to bubble around the edges (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the pudding into a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming), and let cool completely to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  8. Once cooled, pour the pudding into individual serving dishes (approximately 1/2 cup each).
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
