Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 25 grams cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 480 milliliters whole milk
- 100 grams dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously, to create a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Once the mixture starts to bubble and has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, reduce the heat to low and cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure it is fully thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool slightly before covering each dish with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Serve the pudding as is or with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for garnish. Enjoy!
