Ingredients

• 2.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups caramel sauce
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 bars Milky Way candy bars (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk, until it begins to thicken and comes to a boil. This should take about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is fully thickened and smooth.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel sauce, and pure vanilla extract until fully melted and combined.

Step 6

Divide the pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Cover each with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 7

Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cold.

Step 8

While the pudding chills, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until soft peaks form to create sweetened whipped cream.

Step 9

Once the pudding is chilled, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 10

If desired, chop the Milky Way candy bars into small pieces and sprinkle them over the whipped cream as a garnish.
