Ingredients:​

• Pudding:
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee (hot or cold)
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For Garnish (Optional):
  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved chocolate or chocolate chips
  • A sprinkle of cocoa powder

Instructions:​

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
2. Add Liquids:
   • Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
3. Cook the Pudding:
   • Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Chocolate and Coffee:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.
   • Add the brewed coffee and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.
5. Chill:
   • Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
   • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding is set.
6. Serve:
   • Before serving, top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
