I have found the new way to make from scratch chocolate pudding! This is delicious! AND QUICK! AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SCORCHING OR BURNING. I left out the almond extract and sliced almonds and served with cool whip. I also used 2% milk. Thanks for posting. It is also a good pie filling! I use just a little more cornstarch when I make pie filling.
