Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup Corn Starch
  • 1 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Cocoa powder
  • 4 1/2 cups Milk
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Homemade whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, corn starch, and cocoa powder.
  2. Add Milk: Gradually add the milk while whisking to ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Cook: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continue to whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 1 minute.
  4. Add Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Cool: Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
  6. Chill: Transfer the pudding to a serving dish or individual bowls. Cover with plastic wrap (directly on the surface of the pudding) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
  7. Serve: Once chilled, serve the pudding with a dollop of homemade whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk or even half-and-half.
  • If you prefer a less sweet pudding, you can reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons.
  • To prevent a skin from forming on the pudding as it cools, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
  • For a dairy-free version, you can use almond milk or coconut milk, but the texture might be slightly different.
