Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free before fully combining all the milk.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble, about 6–8 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring constantly. The mixture will become thick and creamy.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pudding to cool and set.
Step 8
Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.
