Next time the urge for a silky smooth pudding overtakes you, remember this recipe. It's made with cocoa, which has fewer calories than chocolate – only 12 calories per tablespoon.
Ingredients
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 tbsp cornstarch
pinch salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups milk, preferably 2%
2 tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate, optional
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Whisk egg yolks in a medium-size bowl. In a large saucepan, stir cocoa with cornstarch and salt. Then stir in sugar. Gradually whisk in milk until evenly mixed. Then whisk in orange juice concentrate. Set pan over medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir constantly just until mixture starts to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup (125 mL) hot cocoa mixture into egg yolks. Then slowly whisk this back into cocoa mixture. Set over medium-low heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir constantly 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into a serving bowl or 6 custard cups or dessert bowls that will hold about 1/2 cup (125 mL) each. Great warm or refrigerate at least 2 hours and serve chilled. Pudding will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
