Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to dissolve the dry ingredients and prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 8–10 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened and begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2 minutes, continuing to stir to avoid scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve as-is or garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for an extra touch.
