Ingredients

• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 20 grams cornstarch
• 1 pinch salt
• 500 milliliters whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips)
• 15 grams butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed and there are no clumps.

Step 2

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to dissolve the dry mixture into the liquid. Ensure no lumps remain.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk gently but constantly as the mixture begins to heat.

Step 4

After about 7-10 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken. Once it reaches the consistency of a thick sauce, reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until fully incorporated. The butter adds a silky texture to the pudding.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover each dish with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

Step 9

Serve chilled as-is or with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or shaved chocolate for garnish.
