Ingredients

6 extra-large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons very good cocoa powder
Pinch salt
2 cups milk
1-ounce very good semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and thick in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed. On low speed, add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan and, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture. Combine well, then pour the mixture back into the pan.

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until thickened. If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat and beat it vigorously with a wire whisk. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until the chocolate and butter are melted.

Pour into serving bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding, and chill thoroughly.

Pudding to die for
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw the episode this week where Ina made this pudding. It looked so rich and delicious I just had to make it. I always... read the comments and reviews before I make these recipes because I watch for the problems that have come up for others. I was prepared for a bit of trouble with it but wow - this recipe was so easy and wonderful I couldn't understand how some had so much trouble with it. One complaint in particular was that it took a long time to thicken and that it took hours to set. I can only suggest that maybe the corn starch amount was to blame. I made the recipe exactly as it was written and it came out exactly as it said. It took about two minutes to thicken as I cooked it, and, as it said in the instructions, if it starts to thicken too much, immediately remove it from the heat and whisk the heck out of it....(that's what happened to me) and it was perfect. I did agree with Mr. Rabor that it might use a bit more sugar so next time I will try 2/3 cup. Also, don't walk away from the stove while it cooks - it goes from chocoIate milk to a thick pudding in a moment. I used Ghiradelli sweet ground chocolate and a one ounce semisweet chocolate square. Don't give up on this pudding....try it again if you had problems, it's so worth it. The result is divine. Plop a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and you're in true pudding paradise! Read more

Mr. Rabor sez
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I it probably the best pudding I have ever tasted. The reason I gave it 4 stars, in preping I tasted it and it needed more... sugar. I woud say about 5/8 cup would be perfect. Ina thanks again for making me look like I know what I am doing. =0Read more

Delicious though Unclear
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I've given this recipe a two-star rating because although a VERY delicious pudding, the recipe is fairly unclear in terms of... cook-time. If I had not watched the show and seen the preparation of it visually, the recipe printed from the website would not have been enough on its own. Read more
