Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 bars Milky Way candy bars (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk, until it begins to thicken and comes to a boil. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is fully thickened and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel sauce, and pure vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.
Divide the pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Cover each with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cold.
While the pudding chills, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until soft peaks form to create sweetened whipped cream.
Once the pudding is chilled, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
If desired, chop the Milky Way candy bars into small pieces and sprinkle them over the whipped cream as a garnish.
