rich chocolate pudding

I’ve been a sweet-aholic this pregnancy. Actually, I’ve gone through a few different craving stages – bacon, honey whole wheat toast with butter, cereal, and now anything sweet. Chocolate being one of my favorites. It was no surprise to myself that when selecting a recipe from my secret recipe club pick, I headed straight to the dessert section and found rich chocolate pudding.

Angels Homestead was my secret blog for this month. I love how April is frugal minded and shared her meal plans each week. It’s always fun to see what other people are planning to make each week – and what works for their family.

Homemade pudding has actually been on my list of things to make, so this recipe came at the perfect time. The ingredient list is short – just 5 normal ingredients. Very different than the packaging of boxed pudding. The actually cooking of the pudding took a bit longer than I though it would have, and I didn’t whisk the entire time, leaving me with random little lumps in the pudding. Next time I’ll turn the heat up more, and whisk the entire time. Also, the pudding is left with a little skin on top. It’s edible, just not appealing. I think I’ve read that if you place some plastic wrap on top it won’t leave the pudding skin layer. Does anyone have experience with that? Even with little lumps and skin, the pudding was divine!

April, thanks for helping me cross pudding off the list! It is most definitely better than boxed pudding. Hunter approved of it too.

Jacob however, didn’t even try it. Boo! Had it been boxed pudding I’m sure he would have devoured it. Oh well, more for me! Yes… I ate all of it. We’ll say it’s because of the baby. 🙂

Have you made homemade pudding before? What’s your favorite flavor of pudding? Links to recipes welcome!
