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 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Ingredients

15 minutes
6-8 Servings
  1. 1/2 Csugar
  2. 1/4 Ccornstarch
  3. 3 tablespoons+ 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (don't worry about leveling but not super heaping)
  4. 1/8 teaspoonsalt
  5. 2 3/4 Cmilk (whole is best but you can also use 2%)
  6. 2 tablespoonsroom temperature butter (not margarine)
  7. 1 teaspoonvanilla

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla

  6. 6

    *THE PUDDING WILL BE HOT**

  7. 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. 8

    Refrigerate and enjoy!
