ingredients

²⁄₃ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¹⁄₈ teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)

directions

Mix together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Add 1/3 cup of milk, stirring to form a smooth paste. Whisk in the remaining milk and the egg yolks.
Cook the pudding mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula until thickened, about 15 minutes. (Do not boil.).
Remove from heat. Add vanilla and chocolate, stirring until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour into 4 4-ounce ramekins, glasses or teacups and refrigerate, covered, until well chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 48 hours.
Sprinkle with cocoa powder before serving, if desired.
NOTES: I have also used 3 oz. unsweetened chocolate and 3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate in place of the bittersweet chocolate.
