Ingredients
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 oz high-quality milk chocolate
2 oz high-quality dark chocolate
1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder
Directions
Place the milk chocolate and dark chocolate in separate, medium bowls. Bloom the cocoa powder in a little hot water to make a liquidy paste, and add to the bowl with the dark chocolate. Set aside. Put the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Whisk in the milk, a few tablespoons at a time, making sure to dissolve all the cornstarch, and taking care to smooth out any lumps. Whisk in the egg yolks. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens and bubbles start to form and sputter; about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla. Divide the pudding, through a strainer, evenly between the two bowls with chocolate. Whisk quickly to incorporate the melted chocolate. Spoon the milk chocolate pudding into individual serving cups, or transfer to a large serving bowl. Top with the dark chocolate pudding. Press plastic wrap to the surface of the pudding and chill for at least 1 hour.
