Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 5 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of the milk and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of milk, cocoa powder, and cornstarch until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3

Slowly pour the cocoa-cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

In a heatproof mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Begin tempering the yolks by slowly ladling about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously.

Step 6

With the yolks tempered, pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens further and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring until fully melted and smooth.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.

Step 9

Pour the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a smooth texture. Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl.

Step 10

Cover the surface of the pudding directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.

Step 11

Serve topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit if desired.
