Ingredients
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 40 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 480 milliliters Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 15 grams Butter (unsalted, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. This is your chocolate pudding dry mix.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add 480 milliliters of milk. Gradually whisk in the dry mix, ensuring no lumps remain.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Once the pudding has thickened and starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and whisk for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the cornstarch is cooked through.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. For an extra creamy texture, stir in the butter until fully melted.
Step 6
Transfer the pudding to serving bowls or ramekins. To prevent a skin from forming on top, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding.
Step 7
Allow the pudding to cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before transferring it to the fridge. Chill for at least 2 hours for the best texture.
Step 8
Serve chilled and garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or fresh berries, if desired.
