- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, add during preparation)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, dry milk powder, and salt.
Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution and break up any clumps.

To prepare the pudding, combine 1/2 cup of the dry pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk in a medium saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring to a gentle boil and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, if desired.
