Kids Chocolate Dessert

P3070155Ingredients:

30g Cocoa powder, sifted

60g Cornflour

120g Caster Sugar (I just use regular, it dissolves anyway)

800mls Milk

Directions:

In a small saucepan combine the cocoa, cornflour and milk.  Whisk vigorously to combine until it resembles lump-free chocolate milk.

Heat over a low heat, stirring continuously until it comes to the boil.

Cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in the sugar.

Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the pudding has thickened.  This will take a while, but don’t be tempted to turn up the heat or your mixture will burn on the bottom ruining your pudding.

Pour into a container and cover with glad wrap before placing in the refrigerator to cool.

You want the glad wrap to actually sit directly on top of the hot pudding, not just covering the container.  This prevents a skin from forming on the surface.

Notes:  When your dessert sets it won’t look very attractive, but just give it a good stir and it will look beautifully creamy and custard-like.  I was going to say custardy, but I’m sure that’s not even a word.
