Chocolate Pistachio Chunk Ingredients
- Use ingredients that are at room temperature. This will help the ingredients mix well and bake evenly.
- Food coloring: When you mix the pudding, the batter will turn light green. For a darker, Starbucks-style color, add a drop or two of food coloring.
- Hot water and cocoa. Mix cocoa with hot water. This will help the cocoa mixture become smooth and lump-free and allow the cocoa to bloom, enhancing the flavor of the chocolate.
- almond extract: Enhances the flavor of pistachios.
