Ingredients: Custard powder(vanilla flavored) - 3 tbsp Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp

Chocolate sauce - 1 tbsp (optional)

Milk - 1 and 1/2 cups

Salt - a pinch

Choco chips - 1.5 tbsp

Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. First take 1/2 cup milk, mix custard powder, coco powder, chocolate sauce, sugar, salt and mix it with a whisk without any lumps and keep aside

2. Boil water in a big bowl and fit another bowl containing chocolate or choco chips over the big bowl. Simmer the flame once the water starts to boil. Once the chocolate is melted completely switch off.

3. Now heat the remaining 1 cup milk in a pan then add the custard-coco-sugar mixture and mix well. Stir continuosly to avoid lumps, when the mixture starts thickening add the melted choco chips and keep stirring for 5-7mins until it is thick. When scrapped with a spoon it comes out clean and easily, that is the stage so switch off.

My Notes

A layer of pudding skin forms So if you like it then refrigerate as such without covering.If you dont like pudding skin wrap the pudding bowls/cups with a plastic wrap and then refriegerate. Even the pudding skin was chocolatey so I liked them too :)

Do not skip choco chips/ chocolate as it gives the chocolatey flavour.

You can avoid coco powder and chocolates and use the same recipe for a plain vanilla pudding.

While adding melted chocolate chocolate to milk, see to that the milk isnt cold else the chocolates will form solids again.

This is a very easy yet rich and delicious dessert. I'm sure kids would luv it as my little one was relishing every spoon :) I loved the pudding too as it was silky, creamy, yummy and most of all chocolatey!! This would sure impress guests too , easy to make so we can plan it for parties or family get togethers too.
