Yields 5 Servings

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

2 cups milk

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 Tablespoons corn starch

1 Tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional, whipped cream for serving

1. In a saucepan add sugar, cocoa powder, corn starch, and salt. Stir well to combine.

2. Once no lumps remain, whisk in milk. I like to use a silicone coated whisk so I can make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.

3. Turn on heat to medium, and whisk constantly until mixture begins to bubble. Boil for 1 minute and then remove from heat. Mixture will be thick and will continue to thicken as it cools.

4. Immediately add in butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla. Stir until completely incorporated and smooth.

5. Pour evenly into 5 ramekins and either serve warm or cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for several hours.

Thick, creamy, and oh-so-chocolate-y. Pudding is such a classic dessert. My favorite donuts are pudding-filled. How delicious would it be to fill them with this chocolate pudding? Yum.
