Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 ounce Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until evenly combined and free of lumps.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps and the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Cook the mixture for 7-10 minutes, or until it starts to thicken and coats the back of the spoon. Do not boil.

Step 5

Once thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 6

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. If you prefer a smooth surface, place plastic wrap directly on the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 7

Let the pudding cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set and chill.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with a sprinkling of grated dark chocolate or a chocolate shaving before serving.
