A silky, delicious chocolate pudding that's easy to make and perfect for all occasions! Whip up this indulgent treat in no time for an instant family favorite. No need for a double boiler or a graham cracker crust - just enjoy the chocolatey goodness!
In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, unsalted butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat on low, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to remove any lumps and prevent the mixture from burning.
3
Continue to cook the pudding over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Temper the beaten egg yolks by stirring a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture into the yolks, then returning the egg mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
5
Cook the pudding over low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches 160°F on a cooking thermometer or has a thick, pudding-like consistency.
6
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pudding cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7
Pour the pudding into individual dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled.
8
Before serving, top with whipped cream, if desired.
