Homemade Chocolate Pudding

Classic Homemade Chocolate Pudding is not only thick and silky, but it’s deceptively easy to make!

Homemade Chocolate Pudding is magical in its simplicity and deliciousness. It’s a challenge not to eat it warm, straight out of the pot. But allowed to chill, it becomes thick and glossy, ready to satisfy any chocoholic or pudding lover’s deepest cravings.

Ingredients :

• 1/3 cup good-quality cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups whole milk, divided
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• Fresh whipped cream & chocolate shavings, optional garnishes

Instructions :

1. Sift (if lumpy) the cocoa powder into a medium saucepan and stir in the sugar.
2. Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk until the mixture is smooth. Set on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt. Stir rapidly while very slowly pouring the hot milk/cocoa powder mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Transfer entire mixture back to the saucepan and set pot over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until pudding comes to a full boil.
5. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue whisking for a few more minutes until pudding is thick. Remove from heat and mix in melted chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
6. Strain pudding through a fine mesh sieve and divide between four (4-ounce) cups or small bowls.
