Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.3333 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Dark or semi-sweet chocolate
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps remain. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot pudding mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 4
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking rapidly to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and creamy.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, unsalted butter, and chopped chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Transfer the pudding to serving dishes. Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled. Serve plain or topped with whipped cream and fresh berries for garnish.
