This is a recipe from my mom's 50s kitchen ❤️❤️
For best results, make this early in the day and refrigerate it for a few hours before eating -except my dad liked to eat it warm 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Steps

15 minutes

1

In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, salt, cornstarch and cocoa powder
2

Whisk in the milk...the cornstarch and cocoa powder will float on top of the milk but as you go on they'll be absorbed, so don't worry -but keep the sides of the pan scraped down
3

Using medium heat, bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring constantly...this step can take up to 15 minutes
4

Keep the mixture bubbling slowly until it thickens enough to coat the back of your stirring spoon
5

Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla
6

*THE PUDDING WILL BE HOT**
7

Pour into a sturdy bowl and let rest for 10 minutes before covering with plastic wrap...have the wrap touch the surface of the pudding, this prevents a "skin" from forming
8

Refrigerate and enjoy!
