Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free before fully combining all the milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble, about 6–8 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring constantly. The mixture will become thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pudding to cool and set.
Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
