- Mix very well and simmer the pudding mixture on a low heat.
- Keep on stirring continuously till the pudding mixture thickens.
- Cook till the chocolate pudding mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon. It should coat the back of a spoon and slowly drops or fall from the spoon. The consistency will be medium thick.
- Switch off heat and add the vanilla extract or vanilla essence.
- With a wired whisk mix again to combine the vanilla with the rest of the pudding mixture.
- Immediately pour the chocolate pudding mixture in small to medium heatproof glass or steel bowls.
- With a spatula scrape everything and add the thick pudding clinging at the sides of the pan also to the bowl.
- Cover the bowls with a foil or lid. You can let the pudding cool and then cover with foil.
