Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pudding

There's nothing that compares with homemade pudding.  There is none of that powdery residue from the pre-made mix, the pudding is creamier and healthier.  This one is delicious and a must try!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
-3/4 cup brown sugar, divided
-1/8 tsp salt
-3 Tbs cornstarch
-2 cups whole milk
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 Tbs unsalted butter
-1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Put 1/2 cup of the brown sugar along with the salt and cornstarch into a saucepan.  Whisk over medium heat until no more lumps.  Add the milk and heavy cream, and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 7 minutes).  Lower the heat to medium-low and keep on whisking for 5 more minutes.  The mixture will be nice and thick then.
Remove from heat and stir in the last 1/4 cup brown sugar, along with the vanilla and butter.  Stir until well combined.  pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Remove from the fridge, scoop into serving bowls and top with chocolate chips.  Enjoy!
