Velvety Dark Chocolate Pudding: A Decadent Stove-Top Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Measure each component precisely to ensure consistency in your pudding.

2. Whisk the Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients with a whisk until well combined. This step prevents lumps from forming in your pudding.

3. Add the Milk
Gradually pour the whole milk into the saucepan while whisking continuously. This will help disperse the dry ingredients evenly throughout the milk.

4. Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly with your whisk to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth texture.

5. Thicken the Pudding
As the mixture begins to heat up, you will notice it thickening. Continue to cook and whisk the pudding for about 5-7 minutes, or until it coats the back of a spoon.

6. Incorporate the Chocolate
Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the dark chocolate chips and stir until they are completely melted and the pudding is glossy and uniform in color.

7. Cool and Serve
Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes in the saucepan. Then, transfer it to individual serving dishes. For a thicker consistency, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
