This rich, deeply chocolatey pudding comes together on the stovetop with just a whisk and a saucepan, no special equipment required. Cornstarch is the thickening backbone here, cooked into the milk and egg yolks until the mixture turns glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon in ribbons. Bittersweet chocolate gets whisked in off the heat until it melts completely, giving the pudding that deep, glossy finish and rounded cocoa flavor. A quick pass through a fine-mesh strainer guarantees a silky, lump-free texture before it chills into perfectly set individual cups. Finished with a touch of vanilla and a cloud of whipped cream, it's a make-ahead dessert that fits beautifully into a gluten free spread. Simple pantry staples and careful technique are really what make this one shine.
