chocolate blackout pudding from scratch

Desciption

this pudding is one of the best i've ever had. it is extremely rich and decadent. on top of that, it's pretty low in fat (much healthier than what you'd buy at the store) and pretty simple to make. it comes from didi emmons who says: "the consistency is creamy and smooth, like that of jell-o chocolate pudding i loved as a child, but the flavor is far superior."

Steps

In a small bowl
Combine 1 / 2 cup milk with the cornstarch and whisk well
Add the yolk
Egg
Sugar
And cocoa and whisk well
In a large
Heavy saucepan
Heat the remaining 2 1 / 2 cups milk over med-high heat until it begins to boil
Then pour about half of the milk into the cornstarch mixture
Stirring all the time
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan
Place the pan over low heat
And whisk constantly for about 5 minutes
Until the pudding thickens
The pudding should get very thick
Like yogurt
Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate pieces
Vanilla
And alcohol if you like
Stir until chocolate is melted
Ladle the pudding into mugs or ramekins and chill at least 1 1 / 2 hours
Serve it cold
Topped with whipped cream if you like
