Need a quick Halloween dessert everyone will love? Our chocolate pudding without eggs will go down a treat, not only is it super quick and easy to make, you can have fun decorating it in so many different ways!
Mix together 50 grams cocoa powder, 50 grams cornstarch, 250 grams granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and 700 millilitres whole milk in a small saucepan and turn heat to medium. Use a wooden spoon to keep stirring till it is all combined and to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Boil for one minute only, stirring as it thickens then remove from heat.
Stir in 3 tablespoons butter and 1½ teaspoon vanilla till fully combined then pour into little pots and allow to cool on the counter, then refrigerate till set (around 10 minutes).
orange jack-o-lanterns
Slice off the bottom rind of 6 large oranges taking care not to make a hole in the bottom so the oranges stand upright but the pudding does not leak out. Then carve out the eyes and mouth for the jack-o-lantern.
Use a sharp knife to cut around the flesh and scoop it out.
Fill with chocolate pudding and put aside to set. Decorate with thin pretzel sticks for hair and serve.
Notes
