CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Let me tell you, if you haven’t converted over to homemade pudding, you’ve just got to do it. For me. Promise?

The taste, richness and texture is worlds better than the boxed variety – and not that much more difficult. You’ll love it. And because I love you, here are two fantastic homemade puddings – a chocolate and vanilla – to keep handy.

You just never know when you’ll need to be whipping out homemade pudding.

But the real reason I’m sharing these puddings today is in preparation for what is coming tomorrow. Oh, you just wait. Think cute. Think original. Think Valentine’s.

INGREDIENTS

•  1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
•  3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process or regular)
•  3 tablespoons cornstarch
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  2 3/4 cups whole milk
•  1/4 cup heavy cream
•  1 cup milk chocolate chips (or 6 ounces bar milk chocolate chopped)
•  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt, whisking lightly. Whisk in the milk and cream to the sugar mixture until it is smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking or stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is at a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened and large bubbles pop at the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
