How do I make pudding from scratch?

Question

preferably chocolate

Answer 1

I got this recipe from an 83 y/o lady who did it ALL from scratch. This is the best stuff you'll ever wrap your lips around!


Rachel's Chocolate Pudding

1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon real butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa in saucepan. Beat egg yolks into milk and add gradually to flour/sugar/cocoa mixture. Bring to a slow boil stirring continuously over medium heat. When pudding thickens remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.

Along with the cocoa, assemble the following ingredients: sugar, cornstarch, salt, vanilla, and milk. Never use nonfat milk in pudding! It has to be at least 2% milkfat content, or it won't thicken and set. Whole milk pudding is divine.

Measure a cup and a half of milk into a pot. Put it on the stove over low heat until tiny bubbles form around the edge. If the heat is low enough you shouldn't need to stir it. Don't let it boil or burn, though.

Meanwhile, stir together 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 4 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and some cocoa. Use at least 2 tablespoons -- up to 4, if you want a really rich chocolate flavor.

Stir half a cup of cold milk into these dry ingredients, and mix well. Stir this mixture into the scalded milk -- use a whisk if you've got one. Keep stirring and raise the heat to medium. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

Boil it for one minute, stirring or whisking the whole time. Remove from heat and let it cool in a bowl. Stir in a teaspoon or two of vanilla when it's lukewarm.

Enjoy this warm or cold, with heavy cream, whipped cream

Answer 3

You can't make it from SCRATCH... you need milk, sugar, chocolate, etc! lol

Here's a nice recipe:

CHOCOLATE PUDDING
This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
1 1/3 cups whole milk
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla



In a heavy saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch salt. Chop chocolate and add to sugar mixture. In a bowl whisk together milk and egg yolk and gradually whisk into chocolate mixture. Bring mixture just to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly, and boil 1 minute, whisking. Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla.
Divide pudding between two 8-ounce ramekins. Chill puddings in freezer, surfaces covered with plastic wrap, until cooled, about 30 minutes.

Serves 2.
