The taste was there but the next day after being in the fridge, it had a consistency that I couldn't get past. It was hard to describe - thick and sort of rubbery.

I cooked it on the stovetop, so i could keep an eye on it. It's not bad, nice consistiency, but I guess I'd like it to be a little more chocolaty. I used 1/2 cup of sugar, and it worked well.

This recipe was a simply easy to make delight.. I was a little doubtful at first ( before you put it in the microwave it looks very liquidy) The after the intial 3 minutes, i only needed 3 minutes more. i rated this 4/5 because the top layer on the pudding, when scooped into bowls, made the pudding, where the layer was emptied into, slightly lumpy. I would definately experiment with the sugar amounts because it was a little sweet... also i think a little whipped topping is nessecary for the taste to come out just rite. I would try it out on you family before serving to guest... a simple luxory with only a few simple ingredient... ( my brother was amazed with the fact that it only has 5 ingredients)

this is really good, really easy and much cheaper than buying the packaged pudding powder - and tastes just as good. Just watch it and don't overcook it - in my microwave the first 3 minutes is usually enough.

This recipe was quick, easy and tasty. I followed the recipe exactly except that I cooked it on the stove rather than in the microwave. I will definitely make this again! One tip I would offer is to cool and stir for a bit before pouring it into serving bowls...this prevents the thick skin from forming on top. What I do is fill the sink with about 2-3 inches of cold water, put the pot in the sink and continue stirring the pudding for a few minutes. Then I pour the pudding into a bowl, cover it with saran wrap and put it in the fridge.

I only gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I did make a couple of changes. I only put in 1\2 cup sugar so it wouldn't be too too sweet. I also did it over the stovetop rather than in a microwave. It takes a little longer, but i felt it came out better and nicely mixed. It was delicious with a little cool whip on top. I could eat the whole thing at once.

Followed almost exactly. Used 1/2c sugar and only needed 3 minutes of second microwaving time. Made a nice pie filling on a cooked crust. Will use again.

Made for dessert this evening and what a wonderful pudding recipe. Very quick. I doubled the recipe and added 1 cup of sugar (took other reviewers advice on the sugar - thanks) and it was just perfect. I also cooked on the stove top. My family enjoyed a lot. Thanks

This was very quick & easy to make. The thickness of the pudding was just perfect and it set up nicely. However I found the taste was a little bitter and too much like cocoa powder. I think using melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder would produce a much smoother & richer chocolaty taste. The sugar of course would need to be adjusted depending on how bitter the chocolate is you use. This dessert has a lot of potential. It’s definitely worth trying it again.

This pudding was okay...it was fast and easy, but the taste wasn't really my favorite. I used 1/2 cup of sugar as others had suggested, and any less than that would be too little. I would also recommend reducing the amount of vanilla.

Delicious and just the recipe I was looking for. I cooked it on the stove though. Doubled the recipe exactly except adding 1 cup of sugar after reading other comments that it wasn't sweet enuff and for our tastes, 1 cup was just perfect.

I tried using 2/3 cup of sugar, but that was too sweet. I think I'll try 1/2 cup next time. It really just depends on your tastes. If you don't like it too sweet then 1/3 cup will be just fine. Other than that I thought it was a good recipe if you like your pudding really thick. If not you might want to try adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch instead of 3 and it'll probably still be thick enough.

This was an awesome recipe! I love thick pudding! It is so much easier than the stove-top pudding that you have to constantly stir; it tastes a lot better too. I added twice a much sugar, and it turned out great!I would absolutly make it again!

The only reason I didn't give this one 5 stars is, it was not as sweet as I like. Thank you for the quick, yummy recipe!!! I am going to share this one!!
