Chocolate Banana Pudding

Chef Sarah Copeland

Ingredients 

  • 1 Banana Ripe
  • ½ cup Cocoa Powder Unsweetened
  • 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
  • 1 pinch Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 Eggs Large
  • 2 cups Milk Low-fat
  • cup Honey

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Medium Mixing Bowl 2
  • Medium Pot
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the banana to a smooth pulp.
  • In a medium bowl, use a fork to whisk cocoa powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a second medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Whisk eggs into the cocoa mixture to make a smooth paste. Whisk out any pockets of flour and cocoa completely.
  • In a medium pot over medium heat, heat milk and honey. Bring to a simmer.
  • Pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture over the egg mixture. Whisk constantly until smooth. Continue adding milk, a little at a time, until about half the milk mixture is used.
  • Add egg mixture to pot with remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula until it just begins to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in mashed banana right away until fully combined.
  • Pour warm pudding into 6 small cups. Eat warm, or refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir in the banana and pour hot pudding into cups right away. You want to do this quickly, before the pudding sets.
  • Use maple syrup in place of honey, if you like.
  • If you have a blender, you may choose to blend the banana into the pudding in step 7. This helps create smooth, silky pudding.
