Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well mixed.
Step 2
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to combine and dissolve the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture to the beaten yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Once tempered, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan and whisk to combine.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the pudding reaches a smooth, thick consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, pure vanilla extract, and unsalted butter. Whisk until everything is melted and thoroughly incorporated.
Step 7
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a single bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 8
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 9
Serve cold and enjoy as-is or topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries!
