Preparation

Step 1

makes 4 servings

In a medium bowl, combine the gelatin and 2 1/2 ounces milk. Whisk with a fork to ensure no lumps remain.

In a small sauce pot, combine the sugar, cocoa, salt and remaining milk over medium low heat. Whisk constantly until smooth and the mixture beings to bubble around the edges, about five minutes.

Pour the hot dairy mixture through the sieve and into the bowl of gelatin. Whisk the gelatin into the chocolate mixture. Stir in the vanilla.

To serve: Whip the thickened pudding with a hand or stand mixer for a full minute to restore a creamy texture. (Alas, stirring or beating with a spatula alone will not sufficiently break up the pudding into a creamy, homogenous mixture.) Spoon the whipped pudding into four serving dishes.
