Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully blended while still cold.

  2. 2

    Set the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, ensuring the bottom does not scorch. Maintain gentle heat to prevent curdling or lumps.

  3. 3

    Once the mixture begins to steam and thicken (about 8–10 minutes), lower the heat to its minimum and add the chopped semisweet chocolate.

  4. 4

    Stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated, then continue cooking over low heat for an additional 5–7 minutes until the pudding becomes shiny and thick.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and pour the pudding into individual serving cups or one large dish. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving for a silky texture.
