Homemade Chocolate Pudding
My poor daughter just got braces on her teeth yesterday. Not only did she miss out on eating Halloween candy, but her mouth is also still hurting today. I decided to surprise her with some homemade chocolate pudding because she loves it and it’s easy to eat when your teeth hurt. This is a quick and simple recipe I found at Hershey’s Kitchens that turned out creamy and delicious. My daughter was thrilled!! She loved eating this tasty pudding for dessert tonight while her brother ate some of his Halloween loot.
How to Make Homemade Chocolate Pudding
Stir together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Add the vanilla to the milk then slowly add the milk to the chocolate mixture while continually whisking.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until mixture starts to boil; boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in butter. Pour into individual dessert dishes. To avoid skin from forming on top, press saran wrap directly onto the surface; serve warm or refrigerator for 2 hours prior to serving cold. Serve plain or with whipped cream. Enjoy.

Wonderful! I need to try making this ♥
Yummy – As a kid my favorite pie was chocolate because the filling and other puddings were always homemade – not sure if the boxed ones were around yet.
You are a super mama, Pam. The pudding looks yummilicious.
Homemade pudding is the best! So much better than that boxed stuff. This looks terrific — thanks.
I usually add an egg to my custard for an added depth of flavor. Poor Meg! Mark had braces, and there were some days which were just plain hard. I hope she’s feeling better soon.
Even without braces I would love this dessert.
perfection! even someone who isn’t terribly excited about chocolate will appreciate this. 🙂
Aww poor kiddo! I remember that braces pain and it is NOT fun.
Looks great! I will try it for sure.
