Hi! I used 1/2 cup of dutch processed cocoa, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. It was wonderful.

I liked that this recipe was super simple and didn't include too much fat, but as others said the texture is way too thick. Interested to know if anyone reduced the cornstarch as others suggested and how this turned out. I would also note the cinnamon flavor comes through very strongly, it's pleasant but if you are looking for a more traditional straight chocolate flavor would omit.

Used just a little less cornstarch, nice chocolaty pudding worth making again.
