Smores Pudding Parfait

I'm on an anti-boxed food campaign right now.  I buy things like pudding mixes, thinking we'll make it and then they sit in our cabinet for months on end until I make it out of obligation or get rid of it or even worse, move it thinking we'll eat it at our new house.  Since I have the time to cook from scratch, it's generally healthier, and a lot of times cheaper- we've been a lot of that.

This homemade pudding recipe is almost just as easy as the boxed kind and my guess is you've got everything in your cabinets for it already.

Homemade Chocolate Pudding

Mix together in a large microwave safe bowl (I used a 4 cup Pyrex glass measuring cup).

1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch salt

Whisk in:

 2 cups milk

Microwave 3 minutes.  Stir.  Microwave 2-4 additional minutes, one minute at a time until thick and glossy.

Pour in to parfait glasses, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until cool.  To make it "smores style," when pouring into the parfait glasses, pour a little bit in, then put a big marshmallow in and then pour the rest of the hot pudding mix in.  Top with graham crackers right before serving and serve warm.  The marshmallow will get all gooey and delicious!


Easy, scrumptious, and Liliana approved!
