Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
-
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
-
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the pudding is smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the pudding into serving dishes or small ramekins and cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
-
Before serving, top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and a burst of freshness.
