About the Recipe
Insert Intro
Ingredients
730 ml milk
210 g sugar
40 g cocoa powder
40 g cornstarch
35 g butter
5 ml vanilla extract
3g instant coffee granules (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Set a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and coffee granules. Stir to combine, then pour in the milk. Whisk well to remove all clumps.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, stir consistently for 1-2 minutes, as the pudding thickness. It should be fairly thick but will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Stir until the butter is fully melted and combined.
Step 4
If you feel like you were unable to stir in all the clumps, you can pour the pudding through a mesh strainer to remove any debris. Otherwise, scoop the pudding into a storage container and press a piece of plastic wrap down over the surface of the pudding, so skin doesn’t form as it cools.
Step 5
Once it is fully chilled, you can remove the plastic wrap and cover it with a lid. Serve cold.
