Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups milk
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk ingredients: In a medium sized saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 3 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 11/4 cups milk.
- Cook pudding: Turn heat onto medium, and continue whisking until the pudding begins to boil.
- Add butter and vanilla: Immediately remove from heat. Add 1 Tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir well.
- Let cool: Allow the pudding to cool for 15 minutes, whisking every few minutes to prevent a film from forming on top. After 15 minutes, divide into 6 bowls. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve: Pudding can be served warm or chilled.
Notes
If serving chilled, add a piece of plastic wrap to the top before placing in refrigerator. This will prevent a film from forming.
