   Line an 8x4 inch or 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to act as handles.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Greasing the pan lightly before adding the parchment paper helps it stay in place.

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the milk until combined.

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
