  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes (plus chilling)
  • Cooking Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3.5 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in chopped dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Pour the budino into individual serving dishes. Cover each with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap whole milk for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Garnishing Options: Top with freshly whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Cooking Tips: Make sure to whisk constantly to avoid lumps and get that perfect silky texture.
