2) Set the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil and stir for 1 minute.

3) Remove from heat and stir in the butter & vanilla. Serve warm (over ice cream) or chilled (with whipped cream).
Recipe Notes
- Many different sweeteners will work in the recipe, including cane sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, etc.
- I like to use 1/3 or even 1/4 cup of sweetener for a dark chocolate pudding.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
