5 Minute Chocolate Pudding

If you have 5 minutes, this is how I would spend it!  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…).

Back to the pudding. (I’m so easily distracted by the thought of sex in a cup…).

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…

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I’ve 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.

Hoping you take 5 minutes today for some sweet, sexy pudding…we all need a little pudding in our lives!
