Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and cornstarch until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Transfer the dry mixture to an airtight container or jar and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
  3. When ready to serve, measure 1/2 cup of the pudding mix into a small saucepan.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups of milk (dairy or plant-based) and 4 teaspoons of margarine or butter to the saucepan.
  5. Whisk the ingredients together over low heat until the mixture is smooth and the dry ingredients are dissolved.
  6. Gradually increase the heat to medium, continuing to stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon.
  7. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, ensuring you stir continuously to prevent scorching.
  8. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and continue to boil gently for 1 minute while stirring to thicken the pudding.
  9. Remove from heat. For variations, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of mint extract, or 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder if desired.
  10. If adding nuts, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts now.
  11. Pour the hot pudding into individual serving dishes or use immediately as a pie filling.
  12. Let cool slightly before refrigerating until set and chilled, about 1-2 hours.
