If you have 5 minutes, this is how I would spend it making this 5 Minute Chocolate Pudding!
This rich and easy to make dessert is such a treat! Made with wholesome ingredients for a not too guilty pleasure!
Pudding…just the sound of it invokes creamy loveliness. Its like sex in a cup…and all it takes is 5 minutes. Think of the time you will save! That should open up say 10-12 minutes a day week month right? Maybe I should have called it Sexy Puddin’. Ooooo I like that! (note to daughter – cover your eyes. Mom is a little crazy today…).
How to make 5 Minute Chocolate Pudding –
- Pretty simple stuff. Sugar, cocoa, milk and a couple other ingredients you most likely have hanging around. When I was making this I really wanted to jazz it up. Add some raspberries, or shaved chocolate, but I kept it simple for my peeps! My peeps like it simple, that much I know and I try my best to deliver! But, if you wanted to jazz this sexy pudding stuff up. I’d say a few chopped maraschino cherries (more sexiness), or whipped cream…um okay…
What kind of milk can I use to make this pudding?
- We have used 1%, 2%, and whole milk. Just depends on what I have and the results have been great with all. The truth is that with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch you could use just about any form of milk and get a nice thick constancy. Coconut milk, almond milk…whatever fits yours dietary needs.
Now add the milk to your dry ingredients. Turn on the stove and watch the magic! Keep stirring so your dry ingredients don’t clump on the bottom of the pan! It will thicken up in just a few minutes.
PRO TIP: When it starts to bubble let it continue to cook for about 30 seconds or so….at this point you have reached pudding nirvana. It won’t get any thicker! But it will thicken up nicely when cooled!
Pour into your pretty little cups and serve either warm or chilled. This will keep for up to 3 days in your refrigerator.
Cover with plastic wrap to keep the tops from forming a skin while cooling.
Serve this with chopped chocolate, cherries, raspberries, whip cream or just straight up!
