Ingredients

⅔ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 cups whole or 2% milk
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking as you pour, then whisk in egg yolks. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking frequently (be sure to scrape/stir along the bottom and edges of the pan to avoid scorching).
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer for about 2 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools.
Remove from the heat and pour through a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Immediately add butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Whisk or stir until smooth. Pour the pudding into individual dishes or a large serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, until chilled.
