YUMMO!! My hubby has been begging me to make pudding for about a week now and I have been putting him off b/c I didn't want to buy a box mix. I am sure glad I decided to try this!! I sent him outside with the kiddos while I stirred this together, and I have not called them in yet because I am enjoying a yummy bowl right now! Very creamy and chocolaty!! I didn't add the coffee and I used 2% milk and it is deelish!!

Very rich and creamy. I did substitute Bird's Custard powder for the cornstarch to give it a little bit of extra body ( but its essentially cornstarch anyway and I had it in the cupboard). Will definitely be making this again. They don't really have this kind of pudding here in the UK so now I can make cakes with the pudding in the holes. yum

I think I broke it. While this is absolutely delicious and fills my need for ice cream, donuts and a whole host of things that will eventually lead to my demise, I had to have done something wrong, because it came out solid. Well, as solid as pudding gets. No wiggle, no "pud" in the pudding. Still good, just not what I expected. ;) Also accidentally used almond extract instead of vanilla (I was having a rough night last night)... but it actually gave it a kind of nice black forest flavor. Decent, but solid. :)

I won't rate this since I used regular cocoa powder instead of dutch-processed, and don't know if that had something to do with my results. The cocoa powder flavor was very overpowering and bitter, so much so that I ended up adding more milk and corn starch to try and balalnce out the flavor. Even then, the bitterness remained. Maybe it's just me. Other than that, it was a quick and easy recipe.
