How to Make Old Fashioned Chocolate Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined. There should be no lumps.
  2. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk (or evaporated milk for extra creaminess). Be sure to whisk constantly to avoid lumps.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens significantly. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir for 1 minute to ensure the pudding is cooked through and thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Pour pudding into individual serving dishes. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
