Ingredients

• 500 ml Whole milk
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 30 g Cocoa powder
• 30 g Cornstarch
• 100 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
• 20 g Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.

Step 3

Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to thicken. This will take about 7-10 minutes.

Step 4

Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for an additional 2 minutes while stirring to ensure even consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the chopped dark chocolate until fully melted and combined.

Step 6

Add the butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the butter has melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to avoid a skin forming.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the chocolate pudding chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, grated chocolate, or fresh berries for garnish.
