How to Make Velvety Smooth Rich Chocolate Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. If using, add the instant coffee powder at this stage.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, continuing to stir constantly to prevent sticking and lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg lightly.
- Slowly temper the egg by whisking approximately 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg. This prevents the egg from scrambling.
- Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring continuously. The pudding will thicken significantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set.
- Garnish with fresh fruit slices before serving (optional).
