• Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
• Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.

Return to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more.

• Just before serving pour the cream into a chilled bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or a hand held mixer, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Take care not to over-beat the cream or it will be grainy. Serve each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

• In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, about 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly, scraping the bottom and the sides of the saucepan to avoid burning. Do this for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until it's thick enough that the pudding coats the back of a metal spoon.

• Set aside.
• In a saucepan, add remaining 2½ cups of milk and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Once simmering lightly, remove from heat and slowly pour hot milk into cocoa mixture, whisking constantly to combine. (You don't want to scramble the eggs!)
• Add entire mixture back into saucepan and return to the heat.
• Whisk constantly over medium-high until thickened, so the pudding leaves a "trail" as you whisk (2-3 minutes).
• Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
• Transfer pudding into small containers and allow to cool. (It will thicken as it cools.)
• Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in airtight container(s) in the fridge for 5-7 days.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks for about 60 seconds until light yellow and increased in volume, then whisk in the cornstarch and about 1/4 cup of the milk. Once smooth and incorporated, set aside.Place the sugar, cocoa, salt, and remaining milk in a saucepan, and bring to a scald over medium-high heat, which is when the liquid is about 180-190ºF. This is before the mixture comes to a boil, and in this stage you will see little bubbles start forming on the sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and, while whisking constantly, dribble the hot cocoa into the egg cornstarch mixture very gradually. We are tempering so we don't scramble the eggs. Pour everything back into the saucepan and cook over medium high heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue whisking for a couple minutes until the pudding is thickened.Remove the pudding from the heat and stir in the chocolate or vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into a bowl and press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding so a skin doesn't form. Refrigerate for an hour or two until chilled. Serve and enjoy!

DORIE GREENSPAN'S CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of the milk and 3 tablespoons of the sugar to a boil in a saucepan. While the milk is heating, toss the cocoa, cornstarch and salt into the work bowl of a food processor and pulse to blend; turn the ingredients out onto a sheet of wax paper. Place the egg, egg yolks and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in the work bowl and process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Process for a few seconds, return the dry ingredients to the bowl and pulse just until blended.
• With the machine running, slowly pour in the hot milk, processing to blend. The mixture will be foamy, but the bubbles will disappear when the pudding is cooked. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring continuously, for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens. (The pudding should not boil.) Scrape the pudding into the processor, add the remaining ingredients and pulse until they are evenly blended.
• Pour the pudding into 6 1/2-cup bowls or 1 large bowl. Chill for at least 4 hours. Serve plain or topped with heavy cream, whipped or not.

EASY, HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CORNSTARCH PUDDING

Steps:

• Place 7 cups of milk in a large saucepan on medium-low or medium until it's steaming but NOT boiling. Stir occasionally.
• While the milk is cooking, place the other cup of milk in the blender with the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and pinch of salt.
• Once the milk on the stove is steaming, add the cup of milk/cocoa from the blender slowly while stirring.
• Continue cooking, stirring constantly to keep it from sticking or burning, until the mixture thickens and comes to a light thick bubbling boil (not an aggressive rolling boil).
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. You can serve hot with whipped cream, though I prefer it stone cold from the fridge all on its own.
