Ingredients
Basic Pudding Mix:
- 1/2 cup cornstarch 64 grams
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 130 grams
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 300 grams
- 1 teaspoon salt 4 grams
Red Velvet Pudding:
- 3 cups whole milk 24 ounces
- 3/4 cup Basic Pudding Mix (recipe above), 123 grams
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder 26 grams
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 grams
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon salted butter 34 grams
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 8 grams
- 3 teaspoons LorAnn red velvet bakery emulsion 12 grams
Instructions
- For the Basic Pudding Mix, combine the corn starch, flour, sugar and salt. Mix well and store in an air tight container. Set aside.
- Pour 2 ½ cups of milk in a medium saucepan. Turn the heat on the stove to low. Allow the milk to get steaming and hot, but not boiling.
- While the milk is heating, take another bowl and mix together the other half cup of milk with the pudding mix, cocoa powder, sugar and eggs.
- Once the milk is hot, add the cocoa mixture to the hot milk and stir. Then add in the butter and red velvet flavoring. Turn the heat up just a bit to medium or medium-low. Stir constantly because the mixture could easily burn.
- Cook and stir until the pudding mixture starts to thicken, about 8 minutes, depending on the thickness you'd like. When the pudding is at a thick consistency, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the burner. Mix in the vanilla extract. It will thicken a bit more as it sits. Cool the pudding completely and store in the refrigerator.
