Description

Easy homemade pudding.

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 T cornstarch
  • 1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 T white sugar
  • 1 c dry milk
  • 1 T butter powder
  • 3⁄4 c water

Instructions

At home:
Pack all the dry ingredients into a snack size zip top bag.
Measurement note: 1 1/2 Tablespoons is 1 Tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons.

In camp:
Add the dry ingredients to your pot, slowly whisk in 3/4 cup cool water till the dry items are fully blended. Bring to a gentle simmer over a low flame, whisking often. For a thicker pudding make sure you let it come to a bubble.
Eat warm or let sit and cool down, for a quicker cooling stash the pot in a snow patch or a cold creek.

Notes

Make it mocha by adding in 1/2 to 1 tsp freeze dried instant coffee or espresso. This is a sweet pudding so you may want to cut the sugar by 1 Tablespoon if you don't have a sweet tooth.
