And when made with the freshest cream, best vanilla extract, and finest chocolate, it's heaven. Ingredients 6 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder Pinch of salt 2 ¼ cups heavy cream 1 ¼ cups milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 6 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Directions In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. In a 4-cup measuring cup, combine 1 1/4 cups heavy cream with milk and vanilla. Whisk 1 cup cream mixture into dry ingredients until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Whisk in remaining cream mixture until smooth. Place saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and cook, whisking until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted. Using a 3-ounce ladle, pour pudding into 6 dessert cups. Refrigerate until completely set, about 1 hour. Whip remaining cup of heavy cream to soft peaks, and serve with the pudding. Rate it Print
