Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup cocoa
4 cups whole milk 2% or 2%
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan sift together brown sugar, cornstarch, salt and cocoa.
Whisk in the milk until combined. Turn heat to medium/medium low and continue whisking and stirring.
Bring to a full boil and then reduce to a simmer while whisking and stirring. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
Pour the pudding into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on to the surface of the pudding. This will keep a skin from forming on the pudding. For best results chill for several hours.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
