Creamy Chocolate Pudding

Whisper's Note:

This smooth, rich pudding, lower in fat than many recipes, has many variations. For chocolate almond, chocolate rum, or chocolate mint pudding, simply add either 1/4 tsp almond or rum extract, or 2 drops of peppermint extract along with the vanilla. Yum!

I don't know what I did wrong, the pudding became very gelatanous after I cooked it. It had a good flavor though, just a weird consistency.

Awesome!! Although I do double the vanilla and much prefer it that way. Have made it both ways but double vanilla is best !! Thank you !!
