Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring that the dry ingredients are fully dissolved, and there are no clumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or whisk to prevent sticking or burning.
As the mixture heats up, it will begin to thicken. This process takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Continue stirring until the pudding is thick and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and incorporated.
Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Pour the warm pudding into a pre-baked pie crust if using or transfer it to a container to cool for pudding cups.
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming. Make sure the plastic wrap touches the pudding's surface.
Refrigerate the filling for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set before serving.
