Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly, to ensure the dry ingredients dissolve smoothly with no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a heatproof silicone spatula or wooden spoon.
As the pudding heats, it will start to thicken. This process takes about 5-7 minutes. Once it begins to bubble gently, reduce the heat to low and cook for 1-2 more minutes while stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.
Pour the pudding into two small serving dishes or ramekins.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap (pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
