Another much loved, never shared recipe from the ds{g} archives: A most decadent chocolate pudding brought to us by the lovely genius that is Martha Stewart. Mom and I made this numerous times during the cold, blustery winter months at the campground. It’s the perfect, sweet, rich, chocolatey comfort food. The recipe states to let it sit in the ‘fridge to “set” for at least an hour. However, I think it’s best served piping hot just out of the pot. Enjoy!

6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. In a 4-cup measuring cup, combine 1 1/4 cups cream with milk and vanilla. Whisk 1 cup cream mixture into dry ingredients until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Whisk in remaining cream mixture until smooth.
2. Place saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate, and cook, whisking until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter until melted. Using a 3-ounce ladle, pour pudding into six dessert cups. Refrigerate until completely set, about 1 hour.
3. Whip remaining cup of cream to soft peaks, and serve with pudding.
