How to Make Creamy Chocolate Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens significantly. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure the pudding is cooked through and no longer tastes of raw cornstarch.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. For variations: add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (Chocolate Almond), 1/4 teaspoon rum extract (Chocolate Rum), or 2 drops peppermint extract (Chocolate Mint).
- Divide the pudding evenly among 4 custard cups or ramekins.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and chilled.
