MARTINA'S CHOCOLATE PUDDING
(FROM SCRATCH!)
 
This recipe doesn't get as pudding-like as instant, but even if it totally fails, it makes a great thick hot chocolate! Also, according to my calculations, it has not much more than 100 calories for AN ENTIRE CUP. It has never failed to cure my chocolate cravings!!

1 cup milk (I use non-fat)
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tbsp. cocoa
3 tbsp. sugar*
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Note: I start with 2 tablespoons sugar and add more to taste. I forget how much was in the recipe to start with, but it was too much.

Whisk first four ingredients together in a saucepan (you want to make sure that the cornstarch is dissolved!).

Turn heat to medium. Cook until mixture is hot, stirring the entire time (don't let it boil). Turn heat to low and cook until pudding thickens. Remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla. Eat!

I've made this type of pudding several times (and it's good!), but never had the amounts for a single serving. Thank you for sparing me a dyscalculia induced headache.
