Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2¾ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, cornstarch, and milk. Constantly stir the ingredients together until they begin to boil, about 5 minutes. The chocolate should look like a thick hot cocoa.
- Once it begins to boil, the mixture will start to slowly begin to thicken. Allow it to lightly boil for about 30 seconds, then turn the heat off and stir in the butter and vanilla. Continue stirring until the butter has melted into the chocolate.
- Remove from heat and pour into individual bowls. Cover each dish or bowl with plastic wrap gently touching the tops of the pudding, so a coating will not form on the top of the pudding. Serve warm or allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator.

Notes
- Storage: Store easy chocolate pudding tightly wrapped with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- This recipe makes 4-6 servings, depending on the size of the serving dishes.
