How to Make Lower Cal Version Of Thick Chocolate Pudding

  1. In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, Splenda, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth, lump-free mixture is formed. Make sure there are no dry pockets of cocoa or cornstarch.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then stir well to prevent scorching.
  4. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring vigorously after each minute, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency (this will take approximately 4-6 minutes total, depending on your microwave).
  5. Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl.
  7. Cover the pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully chill and set. This will enhance the thickness and flavor.
  8. Enjoy your guilt-free chocolate pudding! Top with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra touch of deliciousness (optional).
