While one of my guests remarked that the chocolate flavor was not extremely pronounced, I feel that the malt flavor would've been overshadowed if the chocolate had been any stronger. This is a very smooth, rich pudding. I had no trouble getting it to the right consistency; I think the key is 1) using the type of milk called for, and 2) waiting until the mixture comes to a complete boil (even with stirring) and THEN boiling it for the recommended time. This is definitely a keeper.
Chocolate and Malt Pudding
Randy Mayor
Puddings are good sources of potassium because their main ingredient, milk, is potassium-rich. Both the malted milk powder and the chocolate add small amounts of the mineral to this creamy dessert, which has 539 milligrams of potassium in each serving. If you like strong malt flavor, you can increase the malt powder to one cup. This recipe earned our Test Kitchens' highest rating.
