Recipe for Vanilla or Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (if making chocolate pudding)
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Directions
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
If making chocolate pudding, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks.
Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters.
Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl.
Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.
