How to Make Chocolatey Cocoa Pudding
- In a small saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, cornstarch, and sugar until completely smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
- The pudding will thicken dramatically as it reaches a boil. Continue whisking.
- Once thickened, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring continuously, to ensure the cornstarch is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set and chill completely. Enjoy!
