How to cook deliciously - Chocolate Pudding

1 . Stage

Heat the cocoa milk base: Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk.

2 . Stage

Boil and thicken the pudding: Bring to a boil, and whisk until the ingredients are well mixed and smooth. Stir until pudding is thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Once the pudding starts to thicken, remove from heat.

3 . Stage

Temper the egg: Immediately beat the egg lightly in a medium, heat-proof bowl, such as a hard plastic, metal or ceramic mixing bowl. Very gradually stir the hot chocolate mixture into the egg.

4 . Stage

Add the chocolate chips: Whisk in the chocolate chips until they are melted and the mixture is smooth.

5 . Stage

Pour into ramekins and chill: Pour the pudding into ramekins or cups. If you want, cover the surface of each of the pudding cups with some cut out wax paper to prevent a skin from forming on the top of the pudding. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours or overnight. Optional: Serve topped with whipped cream.
