Serves 6

Ingredients

Granulated sugar
2/3 cup
Cocoa powder
1/4 cup
Cornstarch
3 tablespoons
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Milk
2 3/4 cups
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk together until well integrated.
  2. Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking consistently to ensure a smooth mixture without any lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continue stirring the mixture constantly, ensuring it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Allow the mixture to thicken until it reaches a gentle boil. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes. Allow them to cool slightly before placing in the refrigerator.
  7. Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm to the touch.
  8. Before serving, top each dish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Tips

  • 💡 For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond milk or coconut milk.
  • 💡 For a richer taste, you can use half-and-half or a mix of milk and heavy cream.
  • 💡 To make a dark chocolate pudding, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
