Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 3 ounces Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Ensure they are well combined and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth before adding more.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Scrape the bottom and edges of the pan to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 4
Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 7-9 minutes. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes while stirring.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the chopped dark chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto 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 before serving.
Step 9
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for an extra touch.
