How to Make Chocolatey Cocoa Pudding

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