In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined.
Gradually whisk in 4 cups of milk, a little at a time, to ensure a lump-free mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to thicken. This will take about 8–10 minutes.
Once the pudding starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue whisking for 1–2 minutes until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and let it cool slightly at room temperature.
Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade chocolate pudding!
