Pudding Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Add Milk
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil (about 5-7 minutes).
Add Cream and Flavor
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and butter until fully incorporated.
Cool and Serve
Pour the pudding into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap (to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
