Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup sugar (granulated)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Mix the dry ingredients: Whisk the cornstarch, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil: Whisk the milk, cold, into the saucepan. Turn the heat onto medium. Continue to whisk constantly making sure to scrape the sides of the pot, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Thicken: Continue to whisk while the pudding boils for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the butter and the vanilla until the butter melts. Divide the pudding into 2 heat safe bowls or glasses. Take 2 sheets of plastic wrap and cover the pudding, pressing the plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin.
  • Set: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until chilled and set.
