• 2/3 cu. sugar
• 1/3 cup.unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbl. cornstarch
• dash of salt
• 2 1/2 cu. milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 tbl. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps

1. Whisk together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan on stove and turn heat to low. Whisk in milk, a cup at a time until completely combined. Add in egg yolks, whisking until smooth.
2. Turn heat up to medium and continue stirring until mixture just starts to boil, just a few bubbles. Turn heat down to low and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes, until mixture thickens.
3. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour pudding through strainer, catching any lumps. Throw remains in strainer away.
