REALLY RICH CHOCOLATE PUDDING
"from scratch"

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

6 extra-large egg yolks
1/2 cup, sugar
1/4 cup, cornstarch
3 tablespoons, very good cocoa powder
a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
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

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and thick. Lower the speed to low speed, and add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Turn off the mixer while you heat the milk:

In a medium-size saucepan, bring the milk just to a boil and, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg/cocoa mixture in the mixer. Combine well, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

In the saucepan over low heat, cook the mixture stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until thickened (it should not get much hotter than 160 degrees to avoid scrambling the eggs). If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat and beat it vigorously with a wire whisk to cool it quickly.

Remove the pan from the heat, add the chopped semisweet chocolate, the butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until the chocolate and butter are melted.

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