This chocolate pudding is super smooth and creamy. I love to eat this with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Sprinkle on pomegranate seeds, fresh strawberries, crushed pistachios or any other topping you love.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 3/4 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
• Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
• Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly. Bring it to a gentle boil, and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens.
• Remove from Heat: Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and everything is well mixed.
• Cool and Chill: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Serve: Serve chilled, and enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate pudding! You can top it with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra treat.
