Guiltless Chocolate Pudding


Must have. That’s all I got.

Ingredients (serves 4 regular humans or 2 greedy people like me):
½ cup sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 cups skim or 1% milk
½ cup dark chocolate chips (I’m using Hershey’s Special Dark®)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Low fat (or non-fat) whipped cream (optional)

Directions:

Whisk sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt and espresso powder in a small saucepan. Add milk gradually while still whisking. Bring to a boil on medium heat, whisking constantly. Add in the chocolate chips and keep whisking. When it comes to a boil, you will see it starting to thicken. Reduce immediately to a simmer and stir until completely thickened (about 3 more minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, whisking occasionally. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with whipped cream if desired.
