Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 30 g Cocoa powder
- 30 g Cornstarch
- 100 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
- 20 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to thicken. This will take about 7-10 minutes.
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for an additional 2 minutes while stirring to ensure even consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the chopped dark chocolate until fully melted and combined.
Add the butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the butter has melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to avoid a skin forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and cold.
Serve the chocolate pudding chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, grated chocolate, or fresh berries for garnish.
