Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
-
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free slurry.
-
Whisk in the half and half until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (chinois) into a heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan to ensure a silky texture.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
-
Bring the pudding to a full boil and continue to boil for 1 minute, whisking vigorously to prevent scorching.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
-
Set the saucepan into an ice bath and stir continuously until the pudding cools down and thickens further.
-
Gently fold in the shaved white chocolate until just combined.
-
Divide the pudding evenly among coffee cups or serving dishes and chill before serving.

Note
For best results, use high-quality chocolate to enhance the flavor profile.
Ensure you whisk constantly while cooking to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom or forming lumps.
The ice bath step is crucial for stopping the cooking process and achieving the perfect, glossy texture.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently if desired, adding a splash of milk to restore consistency.
You can substitute the white chocolate with milk chocolate for a different flavor variation.
