Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons best-quality cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- Hefty pinch of coarse salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, well beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for garnishing (optional)
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Press through a sieve into a medium saucepan to eliminate any lumps. Whisk in the milk.
Over medium heat, stir the mixture until thickened, about 2 1/2 minutes. Be sure to get the spoon around the edges of the pan as the mixture thickens. Whisk if needed to combine well. Stir in the butter.
Whisk 1 tablespoon of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten egg and return to the pudding in the pan. Stir in the vanilla and cook to completely thicken, 2 to 3 more minutes. Strain through a sieve and pour the pudding into four to six 6-ounce pudding cups. Serve warm, or cool first and chill until serving. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent it from forming a skin (unless you like it!). Top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

When do the eggs come in? I put them in with the vanilla because I figured that’s when. Also, after I cooked it, the pudding tasted like uncooked brownies. Did I cook it to long?

This was REALLY sweet but as my older sis says "it's dessert, it's supposed to be sweet" ha! If I had thought more about it, I would have read the reviews first and thought "hey, maybe 1 cup of sugar to 1 1/2 cups of milk IS overkill!" Oh well. I used this for a pie so I ended up pouring it over 4 sliced bananas on top of a buttery but not too flavorful crust. I just snuck a couple of spoonfuls and it really isn't so bad...not so sweet that a little whipped topping can't even it out a bit.

After reading the reviews, I tried this recipe with 3/4 c. sugar and it was very good. Honestly, I don't think the full cup of sugar would have made it too sweet. Maybe my family and I just like sweet chocolate pudding. I used Hershey's cocoa.

I chose to ignore the comments and made the recipe as is ... I agree that pudding should be sweet but this pudding is *REALLY* too sweet. It's so cloyingly sweet that I think it must be an error in the recipe. However, I used Hershey's baking cocoa powder; Lucinda probably uses something much more dark and rich that needs the full cup because her recipes are perfect. ;) When I make this again I'll use a half or a third cup of sugar, or more chocolate. It really is velvety smooth. Great recipe.

I think this recipe is perfect as is. Chocolate pudding is supposed to be sweet! My son and husband loved it. I will be making this as a treat for them on a frequent basis.

MAN OH MAN, WAY TOO SWEET!!! My husband ate the sweet batch. This recipe is so quick and easy that I whipped another one using 1/4 cup sugar. With Penzey's yummy cocoa powder and the sugar adjustment, this recipe makes a delicious, rich, very chocolatey dessert.

Too sweet, even with using only 3/4 cup sugar. I had to throw it out. However, the texture and consistency was amazing so I will try next time using only 1/2 cup of sugar.
