Eat it warm or let it cool...it's your pudding, and maybe you're one of those delayed gratification types. |
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) cornstarch
- 1/2 cup( 100 grams) sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (710 ml) whole milk
- 6 ounces (170 grams) semi- or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (or 1 cup of good chocolate chips)
- 1 teaspoon ( 5 ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Combine the cornstarch, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the milk, in a thin stream at first, so that lumps don't form, then more quickly once the cornstarch mixture is smoothly incorporated. Place over medium-low heat and stir occasionally, scraping the bottom and sides. Use a whisk as necessary to avoid lumps. After 10 minutes or so, (slower cooking is better), the mixture should begin to thicken. Add the chocolate and continue stirring for another 2 to 4 minutes, until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the mixture is quite thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
