Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust because ain’t nobody got time for homemade crust
  • 1/2 cup sugar adjust if you like it extra sweet or just morally acceptable sweet
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch thickens the chocolate magic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt wakes up the chocolate flavor like a good espresso
  • 2 1/2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy—almond, oat, whatever floats your boat
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped, because melting chocolate > licking chocolate off wrapper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract the cozy hug of flavor
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream chocolate shavings, or even sprinkles if you’re feeling rebellious

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Easy, no explosions yet.
  • Add milk slowly. Pour in milk while whisking constantly. The goal is smooth pudding, not a lumpy horror movie.
  • Cook over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it thickens, whisking occasionally. You’ll see it start to cling to the whisk—victory is near.
  • Add chocolate. Remove from heat, then stir in chopped chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Cue the chocolate aroma dance.
  • Pour into crust. Transfer your silky chocolate pudding into the graham cracker crust. Smooth it out like you actually know what you’re doing.
  • Chill. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Patience is hard, I know. But worth it.
  • Top and serve. Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, sprinkles—your call. Enjoy the adoration from anyone who sees this masterpiece.
