About This Recipe

"This is an inexpensive way to always have chocolate pudding on hand and it's tastes just as good as the boxed --- to avoid any chance of a scorched saucepan bottom this can easily be prepared in the microwave, for a lighter milk chocolate flavor use only 1 cup cocoa."

Ingredients

4 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups cornstarch
1 -1 1/3 cup baking cocoa ( 1 cup for light, 1-1/3 cups for a dark rich flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt

PUDDING

2 cups milk (I like using half and half as it has a more creamy taste) or 2 cups half-and-half ( I like using half and half as it has a more creamy taste)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

FOR MIX: Sift together all ingredients.
Store in airtight container or plastic bag.
TO MAKE PUDDING: Combine 1 cup of dry mix with 2 cups milk in a very heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Bring to a med boil; stirring constantly (watch closely not to burn!).
Stir in butter and vanilla.
Divide into bowls.

"I am on Weight Watchers, therefore, I substituted the same amount of Splenda for the sugar. DEEE-lish!! The butter is nice, but omitting it does not hurt the results. Mixed with Cool Whip, it is just like eating a slice of chocolate pie, minus the crust,of course!! Thanks for the great recipe!"

"I did a test run with this pudding as I want to give this in my Christmas Gift Baskets this year. WOW Kitt! This is delicious! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe I know I'll be making for years to come! Can't wait to start making baskets!"

"Worked like a charm! I needed dessert in a hurry and this pleased hubby to no end. I made a chocolate pie with it. I used 1 cup of cocoa and that was just right for him. I like being able to adjust the "chocolateyness" of the pudding.Thanks Kitten"

"Frightenly easy once that mix was made! I added an extra Baker's unsweetened chocolate square since we were almost out of cocoa and did have enough for even the milk chocolate. I used milk rather than half-and-half. This is a great recipe that works well. Thanks!"

"This is delicious pudding, better than store bought! Very easy to put together. I used 1 cup of baking cocoa and when making my pudding, I used milk. Very good. I made the whole batch so we will be having pudding more often YUM!!"

"The recipe works very nicely. I used Splenda to replace the sugar with no problem. For this trial run I made 1 batch and to err on the side of caution, I used the minimum amount of dutch cocoa. This amount gave a very very weak chocolate flavor. I recommend using the full amount of coco. The only downfall that I noticed was that there was a real cornstarch taste that came through, I think that more coco might help to reduce that. When I cooked the mix I used skim milk and no butter at all. On the whole I was quite pleased with the result. Thanks Kit"

"This is wondeful for all those pudding mix recipies, I keep a batch of vanilla (just omitted the cocoa) and chocolate mixed at all times, so its ready when I need it. Only change was I omitted the salt to lower the sodium. Thanks for posting."
