Pro Tips
-
If you blend the sugar, cocoa, flour, and starch dry in the saucepan before adding the milk, you will minimize the risk of lumps when the milk is added.
-
Stirring in a dessert spoon (about 2 tsp) of butter after your pudding has finished cooking will give your dessert a wonderful glossy finish and a silky texture.
-
Beating the cooked pudding with a hand mixer for 3–4 minutes after removing it from the heat will help you achieve an extra smooth consistency.
