Ingredients

• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces dark chocolate (finely chopped, 60-70% cocoa solids)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0 whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk until the dry ingredients are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the pudding begins to boil, continue whisking and cook for an additional 1 minute to ensure the cornstarch is fully activated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped dark chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the pudding is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. If you dislike a pudding skin, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding.

Step 7

Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 8

Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Enjoy!
