This silky chocolate pudding comes together on the stovetop with cocoa powder, a touch of sugar, and a whisk in constant motion until everything turns glossy and thick. Cornstarch does the heavy lifting here, giving the base that classic spoon-coating texture without needing eggs or a water bath. Once it's off the heat, finely chopped bittersweet chocolate melts straight in, deepening the flavor into something rich and almost fudgy, while a splash of vanilla rounds out the finish. Straining the mixture before it chills guarantees that satiny, lump-free texture every time you dip a spoon in. Portioned into ramekins and chilled until set, it's an easy make-ahead dessert that fits neatly into a low FODMAP kitchen. Serve it straight from the fridge for a cool, deeply chocolatey bite that never feels like it's missing anything.
