Chocolate Pudding 2

By

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 8 1-oz. squares semisweet chocolate, chopped (I substituted 8oz. Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips)
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, cocoa and salt. In a medium bowl, combine milk, cream, and egg yolks, whisking until smooth. Add milk mixture to sugar mixture, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat; add chocolate, butter and vanilla, stirring until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Spoon pudding into a medium bowl; place plastic wrap directly on warm pudding (to prevent film from forming). Chill for at least 3 hours before serving. (Makes about 4 servings.)
