Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt to combine thoroughly.
Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps, and then whisk in the egg yolks until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until it starts to thicken and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring the whole time, until the pudding is thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla extract, and butter. Keep stirring until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and incorporated.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. To prevent a skin from forming on top, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding while it cools.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optional: Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries before serving for an extra touch.
