Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 5 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
• 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cornstarch and cocoa together and add to water. Stir until smooth. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. Pour into saucepan and cook on stove top until thick. Add butter and vanilla and stir until incorporated. Remove from heat and cool slightly (with saran directly on top of pudding) and then pour into pre-baked pie crust or pour into individual cups for pudding.


I top with whipped cream but you can also make meringue if so desired.
