This pudding is very easy and delicious and I've made it many times. The best part is it's rich and creamy and tastes fattening, but it's LOWFAT!!!

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

5 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso (if not available, can use instant coffee)
2 cups low-fat milk (can use regular milk, if desired)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1
Sift all dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined.
2
Place mixture in a medium saucepan.
3
Stir in just enough milk to create a smooth paste.
4
Gradually mix in remaining milk.
5
Cook over medium heat and stir slowly and constantly until mixture thickens and starts to boil. Let it boil another 30 seconds or so, gently stirring constantly.
6
Remove from the heat and gently stir in vanilla.
7
Pour pudding into 3 or 4 dessert dishes and chill until set, about 4 hours.

HI Meryl What delicious pudding! I was looking for something for a chocolate fix that didn't involve baking in the oven. It's a 100+ degrees here today. This was light, creamy, decadent and chocolatety. Modified a little: 3 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp cornstarch; 1/4 cup Whey Low sugar replacement; no espresso (don't like); no salt. I reduced the cornstarch and substituted flour for some of it as I am trying to completely cut out corn derivatives from our diets. Also, we don' t like our pudding very firm. More a cross between pudding and sauce consistency. We served this with sliced banana, broken walnuts, Baily's Irish Cream and unsweetened flaked coconut. Yummmmmmm I can see this being very adaptable to a wide variety of variations: Orange peel, ginger, dried cherries, raspberries, etc. THis has no eggs, could easily be made with soy or almond milk, or fat free, to reduce calories even more. Anyway what a great way to enjoy decadent chocolate with minimum calories and no loss of all the comfort for chocolate dessert. Thank you very much Judy in WA

Wow! I'd forgotten just how wonderful homemade pudding really is. This made three generous servings, and I can't believe something that tastes this great is actually lowfat. The directions are clear and I followed them exactly — only using a slightly bigger pot (in case the pudding bubbled up, which it did, but just a little). After cooling in the fridge for an hour, the puddings were ready to eat. The taste was rich and luscious (and I only used 1% milk!); the texture smooth and creamy. I'll definitely make this again...and again...and again. If I could have given this more than 5 stars, I would have!

I made this with skim milk and some extra vanilla. It had a very rich, creamy chocolate full mouth taste. It may be so long Jello I'll do it myself!!! Good recipe Meryl.
