Ingredients

• 0.25 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whipped cream
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 3

Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Once the pudding thickens and comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes while stirring continuously.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and stir until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins.

Step 8

Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
