Simple Nutella Pudding

This is a simple pudding that I made with Nutella. Today Feb 5th is World Nutella Day. I love nutella and every year I would think of posting,but would miss out. But this year I was prepared for it.So here is the simple pudding which I adapted from a cookbook.

Ingredients:
Milk: 1/4 + 3/4 cup
Cornstarch: 1 tbsp

Nutella: atleast 2 tbsp
Sugar:2-3 tsp +/-
Salt: a pinch

Garnish: Chocolate Shavings/Vermicelli

Preparation:
Stir in cornstarch in 1/4 cup milk.Keep aside.

In a thick bottomed saucepan,mix in 3/4 cup milk,nutella,sugar and salt and bring to sow boil and cook till nutella mixes well into the milk and sugar dissolves.This takes about 2-3 minutes.Do the taste test and adjust the sugar or nutella.

Stir the cornstarch milk into this hot milk and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so till the mix starts to thicken and starts to coat the back of the spoon.

Remove from heat and spoon into the serving bowls.Let it cool a bit.Then wrap the bowls such that the wrap touches the top of the pudding.Refrigerate for atleast 2 hours or till dessert time.

Serve topped with chocolate vermicelli or shavings.

A simple fuss free pudding,which is thick and creamy. Obviously its nutella all the way. You can use non/low  fat milk to make the pudding all the more healthier.Instead of nutella, this udding can be made with hazelnut chocolate as well.

The pudding also celebrates the World Nutella Day,2011 started by Ms Adventures in Italy and Bleeding Espresso.
