Chocolate Pudding Recipe

Well, I'm always looking for ways to make good, fattening American type foods here in Thailand for a relatively reasonable price. It seems like the things I like the most - good chocolate, cheese, bread, olive oil....are the expensive things! But, courtesy of good ol' Betty Crocker - this recipe meets my chocolate needs!

1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar (depending how sweet you want it)
1/3 - 1/2 cocoa powder (more for dark chocolate taste)
2 TBSP (tablespoon) cornstarch
1/8 tsp (teaspoon) salt
2 cups milk (or soy milk)
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir 1/2 of hot mixture into egg yolks. Stir into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute, remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into 4 dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled - about 2 hours.

I made mine with less sugar and more cocoa and it was like dark chocolate!!
