Servings: persons

2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup half-and-half
3 large egg yolks
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1
Melt chocolate in a saucepan or in the microwave and allow to cool slightly.
2
Sift cocoa, corn starch, sugar and salt together in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
3
Slowly whisk in the half and half, then the egg yolks, then the milk.
4
Stir in the chocolate (it will look curdled and clumped, but will melt together with cooking).
5
Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pot.
6
A splatter screen might be helpful here if your pot is not very deep.
7
As the pudding reaches the boiling point it will darken and thicken.
8
When it boils, reduce heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon for about two minutes, until it has reached the appropriate pudding consistency.
9
Stir in butter and vanilla.
10
Serve warm or chilled.
