Note

If the chocolate appears curdled before stirring, do not worry; beating the mixture well after the 20-minute rest will smooth it out.

Ensure the egg yolks are added gradually and beaten quickly to prevent scrambling. If the mixture is too hot, temper the eggs by adding a few spoonfuls of the hot pudding to the eggs first, then stirring that mixture back into the pot.

For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.

This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

If you do not have a double boiler, you can use a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
