Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins and Toppings

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (for crunch)
  • Chocolate chips or chunks (for extra chocolatey)
  • A pinch of cinnamon or chili powder (for spiced twist)
  • Fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries (for fruit infusion)
  • Powdered sugar, chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts, fresh berries (for garnishes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until fully combined and free of lumps.
  2. Incorporate the wet ingredients: Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the batter is smooth and thick.
  3. Cook the pudding: Pour the batter into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps and sticking. Continue cooking until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble gently.
  4. Chill or serve warm: Once thickened to your liking, remove the pudding from heat. Serve immediately warm for a gooey texture or chill in the refrigerator for about an hour for a firmer, set consistency.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Constant stirring during cooking prevents lumps and ensures smoothness.
  • Remove from heat as soon as pudding thickens to prevent grainy texture.
  • Use melted but slightly cooled butter to avoid curdling.
  • Whole milk yields creamier pudding; plant-based milks work for vegan versions.
  • Add a splash of milk if pudding is too thick while reheating.
