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…
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!
Clink!

Silky smooth and delicious 5 minute pudding! If you make this once, you will make it a hundred times. Wholesome ingredients that come together in a flash for a real treat!

- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla

- In medium saucepan combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt with a whisk.
- Add milk and continue to whisk. Heat to simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until thick and bubbly.
- Remove from heat - add vanilla and butter
- Pour into your favorite dessert glass and chill throughly.
- Stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in large microwave-safe bowl; gradually stir in milk.
Microwave at HIGH (100%) 7 to 10 minutes or until mixture comes to full boil, stirring every few minutes.
Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into dishes to cool.
Mine turned out liquid, do you freeze it once you are done?
Did you remember the cornstarch? If you don’t add cornstarch than ya got chocolate milk..
Sound like a super simple and yummy recipe. I will definitely try it. Can I use milk chocolate bars instead of cocoa? Will that change the consistency and taste?
Hi Shefali, I can’t recommend it. I have not tried and I am thinking it will make the pudding runny.
There is a problem with 8 and 9 below, can you please fix these, I’d like the recipe to be correct so I can save the receipe.
Thanks

Hi Jo – That is directions for the microwave. I updated to make it easier to read! thanks for the note!
I cannot wait for this to chill!
Sexy indeed! I had no idea how easy homemade pudding was and I LOVE pudding! Can’t wait to make this!
This pudding is sexy indeed. Chocolate and ready in five minutes? I’ll have some of that, please.
Sounds delicious! I will definitively try this!
Ha ha! The image of sex in a cup is kind of disturbing, but I really love the look of this! I rarely think to make pudding, and when I do, I wonder why I don’t eat it every night! BTW – I’ve made it with coconut milk and it works really well. Pinned 🙂
OH… if you had just left off those words….5 minute…..now I’m gonna have to make this ASAP !!
looks so yummy & will be a nice surprise for hubby too.
Thanks
