Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring a smooth mixture.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook and whisk continuously for an additional 2-3 minutes. The pudding should become thick and smooth.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is glossy.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Step 8
Serve cold, optionally garnished with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
