Ingredients
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups nonfat or low-fat milk, divided
2/3 cup sugar, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Lightly beat egg with a fork in a medium bowl.
2. Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/3 cup sugar and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, cocoa and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup milk until blended. Whisk the simmering milk mixture into the cocoa mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and glossy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Whisk about 1 cup of the hot cocoa mixture into the beaten egg. Return the egg mixture to the pan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until steaming and thickened, about 2 minutes. (Do not boil.) Whisk in vanilla. Serve warm.

I love chocolate first off. I am so excited to try this recipe it sounds and looks delicious. I do agree with you anything made from scratch taste better than the stuff from the box.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make my siblings and I pudding for after school snack. I have always managed to mess up the kind from the box. Who knows maybe I will be able to do it by scratch. It's worth a try. Thanks for the recipe!
