Chocolate Pudding

... heals the weary heart.

Man, my heart is weary. That's so true at this point. So many things to think about. But hey... there's a rainbow always after the rain, right? I don't want to delve in more about my personal sentiments. I'd just like to share to you this simple yet wonderful confection that I have just made a few hours ago.

Yesterday, I've been wanting to eat anything chocolate and I wanted to eat it with a spoon. I've thought of ice cream but nah I was too lazy to even go out to my grandma's house which is just a few steps away. I have some cocoa powder and sugar and other stuff hidden in the cupboard. So I browsed through tastespotting and alas... I got the idea of making pudding. My siblings and I made some before but were never satisfied because we used a low quality cocoa powder. Not very chocolatey. This time though, I know better.

So here it is.

beautiful eh?

It's actually a very simple recipe I found at Cooks.com.

Easy Chocolate Pudding

1/2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
2 1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar, cornstarch, cocoa and salt in saucepan. Slowly stir in milk, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick. Stir and cook 3 minutes longer; stir in vanilla. Chill. Makes 6.

Absolute winner!

Now I feel a little better. :)
