Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup cocoa (recommend Hershey Brand)
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp salt + a dash
  • 2 cups of milk*
  • 2 cups half and half (*or use 3 cups milk and 1 cup whipping cream)
  • 4 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
  • 1½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
  1. Crack eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl, slightly beat, and set aside, near where you will be working at the stove.
  2. In a 2-quart saucepan mix together: sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the milk/half and half or cream, and heat mixture on medium heat stirring constantly.
  3. When mixture begins to thicken and boil. Boil for 1 min.
  4. Pour half of the pudding mixture (slowly) into the slightly beaten eggs. Whisk constantly and also keep stirring the pudding left in the saucepan...you might want a helper for this. Also, don't return the saucepan back to the heat until you have added the egg yolk pudding mixture back to the half left in the saucepan.
  5. Once the egg yolk pudding mixture has been combined well and is thickening, quickly add it back into the remaining pudding in the saucepan.
  6. Boil and constantly stir pudding for one more minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
  7. Pour into serving dishes and chill for at least one hour...or eat it warm if you prefer.
