Nothing hits the spot better on a cold, rainy day than this creamy, rich, homemade pudding. Made with 2% milk and cocoa powder, this low fat version of the classic dessert is the perfect comfort food.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1‑1/2 cups reduced-fat (2%) milk
6 to 8 packets sugar substitute or equivalent of 1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Assorted small candies (optional)

PREPARATION:

  1. Combine cocoa powder and cornstarch in medium microwavable bowl or 1-quart glass measure. Gradually add milk, stirring with wire whisk until well blended.
  2. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes; stir. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 1-1/2 minutes.
  3. Stir in sugar substitute, vanilla and cinnamon, if desired. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with candies just before serving, if desired.
