Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Cheerios cereal
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add in the milk, whisking constantly to ensure no lumps form.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, continuing to stir to prevent the pudding from sticking or burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract until fully melted and incorporated into the pudding.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly before serving or cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled.
Before serving, evenly sprinkle the top of the pudding with Cheerios cereal for a delightful crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
