How to Make Dark Chocolate Pudding
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until completely smooth.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
- In a separate bowl, whisk a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of the hot pudding mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining pudding.
- Cook and stir constantly for 1 minute, or until the pudding thickens slightly and is smooth. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
- Spoon the pudding into dessert dishes.
- Garnish with whipped cream, grated chocolate, and cookies (optional).
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
