Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Continuously stir the mixture as it heats. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble gently. Do not stop stirring to prevent scorching.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Pour the pudding into two small serving dishes or ramekins. Let it cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes to chill and set. Serve cold and enjoy!
