Deepest Darkest Chocolate Pudding
When only the chocolatiest will do .. First prep 12 ounces of dark chocolate - break into small pieces or coarsely chop. I used 85% dark from Aldi. Lightly whisk together in a large pot (I use my 7 qt dutch oven): 3 cups white sugar 1 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup corn starch Mix in: 12 egg yolks 1/2 gallon (8 cups) whole milk Slowly heat on stove, stirring almost constantly until it starts to thicken.

Whisk until smooth and shiny. Scoop pudding into cups - I ended up with 38 servings. ...
