Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups whole milk
  2. 1/2 cup sugar
  3. 1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
  4. 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  5. 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  6. 3 large egg yolks
  7. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  8. 3/4 cup whipping cream
  9. 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Put 1 1/2 cups of the milk, the sugar, and the cocoa in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer, over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture.
  3. Return to the saucepan to a medium-high heat, and cook, 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.
  4. Pour the pudding into 6 small cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight until set.
  5. Just before serving pour the cream into a chilled bowl. Whip the confectioners’ sugar into 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.

This recipe didn’t live up to other recipes from Tyler’s show. Although it was “easy,” we didn’t care for the taste or texture of the finished product.
Nancy Torres

This pudding is so much better than store bought pudding that there is no comparison. It is so easy to make, with ingredients that are on hand, that I will always make this instead of buying. Many thanks.

Easy to prepare, but my grandchildren did not like it because it was too chocolately.

Just made this for Valentine’s Day. It was delicious and easy to make. It took no time at all and is much better than the instant stuff you buy at the store.
