Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour milk into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture without any dry pockets.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to prevent scorching at the bottom.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, which typically takes about 6-8 minutes.
- Once the pudding starts to bubble and has reached a thick, custard-like consistency, remove from heat and add chopped semi-sweet chocolate, stirring until completely melted and incorporated.
- Stir in vanilla extract, mixing until the pudding is glossy and smooth.
- Pour the hot pudding through a fine-mesh strainer to ensure a silky texture, removing any potential lumps.
- Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled and set.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
