“Decadent Chocolate Pudding Cubes: A Bite-Sized Treat”
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Add Milk:
- Gradually whisk in the milk to ensure the mixture remains smooth and free of lumps.
- Cook the Mixture:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Finalize Pudding:
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until well incorporated.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the pudding into a shallow dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Allow to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- Cut into Cubes:
- Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the pudding into small cubes.
- Serving Suggestion:
- Serve as is, or for an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce.
