Sugar-free chocolate pudding

A dessert for diabetics or those who want to reduce their intake of added sugar

Ingredients pour 2 persons

• 250 ml of semi-skimmed milk (low fat)
• 20 g of corn flour (or Maizena)
• 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tablespoon of sweetener (i.e., sugar substitute). For people who must follow a diet that excludes sugar (diabetes, overweight), sweeteners help to limit the frustration of deprivation.

Directions

Step 1:

In a bowl, mix the corn flour with a bit of milk. Mix until a fluid mixture is obtained. Set aside.

Step 2:

In a small saucepan, put the rest of the milk and cocoa.

• 

• 

Heat this saucepan over medium heat (7/10): stir regularly. The cocoa will melt in the milk and you get a smooth and hot chocolate milk. The mixture should not boil.

• 

Step 3:

Remove the pan from the heat when the mixture is hot (but not boiling).

Add the corn flour (prepared in step 1) and mix.

Step 4:

Put the pan back on medium heat (7/10) and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5:

After 2-3 minutes of cooking, the preparation has thickened enough: remove the pan from the heat. The preparation will continue to thicken during the cooling phase.

Add the sweetener and mix.

Step 6:

Pour the mixture into 2 small jars.

Cover with plastic film and let cool. Put in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving your pudding.
