Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, still stirring constantly, until the pudding is thick and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.
Spoon the pudding into four serving cups or ramekins.
Allow the cups to cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set.
Once chilled, garnish each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy!
