Creamy Chocolate Chocolate Pudding with Berries
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until just boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredient mixture until smooth.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Look for it to coat the back of a spoon.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter until fully melted and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Pour the pudding mixture into serving cups or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, ensuring it touches the surface of the pudding.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve topped with fresh mixed berries and whipped cream if desired.

Notes
You might also consider adding a splash of espresso or flavored liqueurs to make it extra special.
For storage, keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, but note that the berries may need to be added fresh just before serving to maintain their quality.
