Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch processed baking cocoa
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla
Whipped cream, if desired

Steps:

In 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt with whisk. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until pudding boils and is thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 2 minutes longer.
Remove from heat; gently stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Pour into large bowl; cover surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin from forming. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm, or refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with whipped cream.
