Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the pudding mix, cocoa powder, and sugar until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually pour in the water while whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
  4. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens significantly and just begins to boil, which should take about 5 minutes.
  5. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent overcooking.
  6. Stir in the margarine and vanilla extract until the margarine is completely melted and incorporated.
  7. Pour the hot pudding into a serving bowl or individual ramekins.
  8. Press a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming while it cools.
  9. Allow to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or serving warm.
