Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, espresso powder, and salt.

Step 2

Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Cook the mixture until it starts to thicken and bubble, about 8-10 minutes. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Step 7

Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 9

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
