Silky Homemade Chocolate Pudding

Steps

  1. In a medium saucepan (off the heat), whisk the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Whisk in about 1/2 cup milk to make a smooth paste, then whisk in the rest of the milk.
  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly and scraping the bottom and corners, until the pudding thickens and starts to bubble.
  4. Let it bubble gently, still whisking, for 1 full minute so the cornstarch fully thickens.
  5. Take it off the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate, butter and vanilla until melted and glossy.
  6. Divide into 4 cups or pour into a bowl. Press plastic wrap right onto the surface to prevent a skin, and refrigerate until cold and set.
  7. Serve topped with whipped cream.
