Method
Making the Pudding Base
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Add Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Make sure all the dry ingredients are dissolved.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Optional Flavoring Add-Ins
Add Cocoa for Chocolate Pudding
If you want chocolate pudding, sift in the cocoa powder and mix well until fully incorporated.
Incorporate Chocolate Chips
For a richer chocolate flavor, stir in chocolate chips while the pudding is still warm to allow them to melt slightly.
Make Fruit-Flavored Pudding
For a fruit-flavored version, fold in the fruit puree gently after removing the pudding from heat, mixing until well blended.
Chilling and Serving
Cool the Pudding
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill Before Serving
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
