Description
Chocolate Blender Pudding is a delightful homemade dessert that brings joy to both children and adults alike. Why settle for boxed mixes when you can whip up this delectable treat in just three simple steps? This recipe offers flexibility: if you’re feeling indulgent, feel free to use whole milk for a richer flavor. Conversely, if you’re watching your diet, you can easily swap in skim milk and omit the butter for a lighter version. My children enjoy this delicious pudding at least once a week, and I’m sure yours will too!

Instructions

Blend the Mixture
Start by placing all the ingredients, excluding the butter and vanilla, into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This step ensures that your pudding will have a silky texture. -
Cook the Pudding
Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a boil. This is a crucial stage, as it activates the cornstarch, thickening your pudding to the desired consistency. -
Simmer and Stir
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Continue to cook for an additional two minutes while stirring to prevent sticking. This will help achieve a perfectly creamy pudding. -
Finish the Pudding
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla, allowing them to melt and infuse their flavors into the pudding. This final touch adds richness and depth to your dessert. -
Chill and Serve
Transfer the pudding to serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before refrigerating it until firm. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Serve chilled, and enjoy a delightful, homemade chocolate pudding that everyone will love!
