Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure you have a medium saucepan, whisk, and serving dishes ready.
- Pour 2 cups of cold milk into the medium saucepan, ensuring there are no milk residues on the sides.
- Add the entire package of chocolate pudding mix to the milk, whisking thoroughly to combine and eliminate any dry mix lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with the whisk to prevent mixture from sticking to the bottom.
- Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken and starts to bubble gently.
- Remove the saucepan from heat immediately once the pudding reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Let the pudding cool for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin formation on the surface.
- Carefully pour the warm pudding into individual serving dishes or a large communal dish.
- Allow pudding to cool completely at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set and chill thoroughly.
- Before serving, top each pudding portion with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
