Nutella Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon cocoa
• Pinch salt
• 2 cups milk
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon Nutella
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, sugar, cocoa, and salt with a good stir. Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and warm it over medium heat until scalding. Slowly whisk half of the hot milk into the cornstarch mixture, then pour everything back into the pan. Keep stirring as it cooks, until the pudding thickens and reaches a boil.
2. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the chocolate, Nutella, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Chill the pudding until set, about 3 hours.
