Quick Dark Chocolate Pudding

The perfect after dinner treat to have on a busy week night...my family loves it when it's still slightly warm and served in a mug.

2 1/2c milk

1 1/2c cream

1tsp vanilla

1 egg (beaten)

3/4c sugar

7tbsp coco powder (approx. 1/2c)

3tbsp cornstarch (dissolved in a little water)

Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium sized pot and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly for about 7 to 10 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Be sure not to bring to a boil. When slightly thinner than your desired consistency pour about ½ a cup of the pudding into each bowl and let cool to desired temperature before serving.

If you prefer to have cold pudding simply cover the top of each bowl with plastic wrap and press onto the surface of the pudding. This will prevent a skin from forming on the top.



Makes 4 half cup servings.
