How to Make Rich Chocolate Pudding

  1. Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Ensure there are no lumps.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, continuously stirring over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate (chopped) and stir until completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 5 minutes to fully thicken the pudding. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for optimal serving temperature. Enjoy!
