Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup 100% cacao unsweetened cocoa powder such as Scharffen Berger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Half & Half
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 oz dark chocolate chopped, at least 85% cacao, such as Scharffen Berger
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Whipped Cream optional, for garnish
- dark chocolate optional, shaved, for garnish
Instructions
- Add granulated sugar and salt to a cold small saucepan. Sift in cornstarch and cocoa powder and whisk to combine.
- Slowly stream in half & half and milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
- Place saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk continuously until mixture begins to steam.
- Before the mixture reaches a boil, add the chopped dark chocolate. Continue stirring, switching to a rubber spatula, until the chocolate melts and the pudding thickens to a bubbling consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Divide the pudding evenly among 4 serving dishes. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for approximately 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
- Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap. Top each serving with whipped cream and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate.
