How to Make Homemade Silky Chocolate Pudding
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk, low-fat milk, or milk alternative) until completely smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently and continuously, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving glasses, ramekins, or a larger bowl.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the pudding to fully set and chill.
