CHOCOLATE PUDDING - CONDENSED MILK VERSION

Steps:

• Combine cocoa and cornstarch in bottom of heavy bottomed saucepan. Add condensed milk and water and stir to combine.
• Use medium low heat and stir regularly until cit begins to thicken.
• Once it starts to thicken, stir constantly until it begins to boil/bubble.
• Allow pudding to cook for one more minute after it first begins to boil/bubble.
• If the pudding got lumpy (either heat was a little high or it wasn't stirred enough when it was thickening, use an immersion blender or whisk to make it smooth.
• Remove pudding from heat and stir in vanilla. You can substitute almond flavoring for the vanilla if you prefer that flavor.
• Pour into four bowls. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic onto the top of the pudding; this will prevent the pudding from forming a thick skin.
• Refrigerate until chilled or eat immediately. Serve with whipped topping.
