Luscious Deep Chocolate Pudding

Creamy smooth and luscious, this homemade chocolate pudding is comforting and delicious. It is easy to make with pantry staples and definitely worth the effort!

   Sometimes you just want a little chocolate pudding.  There is just something so comforting about it.  Now, you could run to the store and buy a box of mix.  Then all you have to do is stir in the milk and let it sit.  Or you can do something that is almost as easy and tastes twice as good.  Chances are you have most of the ingredients in your pantry already, and as a bonus you get to sneak a little warm pudding to tide you over until it cools!



    In my book those are all wins!   This pudding's chocolate flavor is so deep and delicious.  I added some instant coffee to really round out the chocolate flavor, though you certainly don't have to.

     It is sweet enough, but not too sweet.  It is smooth and luscious and a perfect treat that will remind you of childhood while still pleasing your adult pallet.

     Making the pudding really isn't hard at all.  You just whisk together the dry ingredients, then the cold milk.

    This next step is time consuming, but easy.  Just get comfortable and ready to hang out over the stove for a little bit.

    You want to bring up the temperature of the milk slowly until the pudding is thickened.  True, it may take ten or fifteen minutes, but the results are worth it!

     Besides you waste time on much sillier things than that!

     Just when it seems like it is never going to happen, the mixture starts to thicken.  All of the sudden it goes from seemingly a lost cause to really moving fast.

    Once it seems like it is reaching pudding consistency, check to make sure it really coats the back of a spoon.  All that is left is stirring in the butter and vanilla, a quick taste test and off to the fridge.

     See, that wasn't so hard!  In addition to being a great snack on its own, it is also a great building block to other treats.  I used some in the ghosts in the graveyard trifle to make it extra special.


   You could also pour the warm pudding in a baked pie shell and chill it.  Top it with some cream cheese whipped cream for an extra special treat!
