Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 160–180 grams chopped chocolate (mix of dark and milk chocolate recommended)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a medium nonstick saucepan before turning on the heat.
- Place the pan over low heat and whisk continuously as the butter and chocolate begin to melt.
- Whisk gently until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Continue cooking and whisking over low heat until the pudding comes to a gentle boil and thickens, about 8–10 minutes.
- Strain the pudding through a fine mesh sieve for a silky texture.
- Pour into serving bowls and serve warm, or let cool and chill for later.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Pudding thickens as it cools—adjust with a splash of milk when reheating.
- Add espresso or cinnamon for flavor variations.
- Chill with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent skin formation.
