Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 10–12 minutes.

Once the pudding thickens, reduce the heat to low and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and completely smooth.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl if serving family-style.
