Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until a few bubbles appear along the edge of the pan. Remove from the heat.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder over the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the hot milk. Return the mixture to the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Pour the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Immediately add the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and stir until melted, then stir in the vanilla.

Pour the pudding into 6 individual serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. Serve with dollops of whipped cream.
