Chocolate Pudding
 
 
1/3 cup    Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, plus 1 Tbs  
2 Tbs    Cornstarch  
1/8 tsp    Salt  
1 cup    Sugar  
4 Lg    Egg Yolks  
2 1/2 cups    Milk  
1/2 cup    Heavy cream  
1/2 tsp    Vanilla Extract  
4 oz    Semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped  
  Whipped cream, for garnish  
  Chocolate shavings, for garnish  
 
1 Into a medium bowl, Sift together cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in sugar. Add egg yolks, and pour in 1/2 cup milk; whisk until well combined.
2 In a medium saucepan, heat remaining 2 cups milk and the heavy cream over medium heat until mixture just comes to a boil. Slowly whisk milk mixture into cocoa mixture.
3 Rinse out saucepan but do not dry. Return custard mixture to saucepan, and place over medium-low heat. Stir in vanilla.
4 While stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until custard has thickened slightly and is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 10 minutes. (Do not let it bowl.) Don't worry if lumps form.
5 Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, discarding any solids. Add chopped chocolate in two batches, stirring until thoroughly melted and combined after each addition.
6 Divide pudding among six serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
