Sometimes you just need things to be easy and uncomplicated.\u00a0 To cap off a long week, you want something familiar. Something simple and delicious. That\u2019s what this chocolate pudding is, just simple. \u00a0No parfait treatments or graham cracker crusts or whipped cream dollops here — just good ol’ pudding. \u00a0Where the box variety suggests chocolate flavor, this pudding doesn\u2019t skimp. It’s sweet, simple, and seriously chocolatey without being too rich.<\/p>\n

\"sweet<\/a><\/p>\n

As a kid who grew up on the box variety, homemade is a real step up. \u00a0My dad always insisted on the “Cook and Serve” variety — no instant in our house.\u00a0For no more work or time than you\u2019d spend on a box mix, you can whisk together a batch of pudding and have it chilling in the fridge. What might surprise you is, this version is dairy-free.<\/p>\n

You’ve seen Pacific Foods’ Hazelnut Chocolate milk<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0here before in Nutella Fudgesicles<\/a>, but the aim this time isn’t a Nutella pudding. \u00a0We’re going all out chocolate.\u00a0Using the Hazelnut Chocolate milk\u00a0as its base, the pudding amps up its chocolate flavor with Hershey\u2019s Special Dark cocoa and a bit of instant espresso powder. \u00a0The Special Dark cocoa is a mix of Dutch-processed and natural cocoa, so if you\u2019ve only got one in your cupboard, go Dutch-processed.<\/p>\n

Given my “Cook and Serve” roots, I\u2019m a fan of pudding skin, but if you like a strictly creamy pudding, you\u2019ll need to press plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding before putting it in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
