I used Splenda instead of sugar and it is good. Next time I'll increase the splenda to 1/2 cup. I like it a little sweeter.

This was wonderful and I will be making this again. I didn't cook mine on top of the stove as I despise having to stir things constantly. I used my microwave, stirring it every two minutes and it was done in about five minutes. Thanks for posting this Zeph's Wife. Made for Comfort Cafe - Winter 2010.

Well I had to make a very big change to this and that was to replace the real milk with soy. I used Fresh & Easy brand Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly, except I did halve this. This was very rich, very chocolatey, but not too sweet. It thickened up nicely too. I didn't wait for it to completely cool off but started eating this warm (it had been in the fridge for barely 20 minss. Very good for a chocolate fix, and very easy. I also appreciate the fact that I was able to easily incorporate the dairy-free substitute (the soy milk). Ty for sharing Zeph's Wife. :)

Excellent! Just the perfect amount of chocolate and a better texture than instant pudding mix, which is apt to be gummy. I used 2/3 dry milk and 1/3 whole milk. Everyone in the family agreed it was as good as pudding gets. And no more difficult than making gravy. I may never buy a box of pudding mix again.

Very good fat free pudding! I used skim milk and whisked constantly while adding the milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients. This took a bit of time to get to the boiling point but once it did the pudding cooked up quickly. A really good flavor with just enough sweet and bitter from the cocoa, light textured, and creamy. Thank you Zeph's Wife!
