Double Chocolate Pudding

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups light cream
• 3 ounces chopped bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the cream until smooth, then whisk in the remaining 1 cup cream.
3. Set the pan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes.
4. Continue to whisk and boil for 1 minute.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate and vanilla.
6. Let stand for 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted, then stir gently until the pudding is smooth.
7. (Do not stir too much or the pudding might thin out.)
8. Divide the pudding among 6 small dessert dishes.
9. Let cool for about 20 minutes to serve warm and soft, or chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
