Ingredients

• 1 2/3 Cups 2% milk, divided
• 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 Cup light brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoon water
• 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder, optional

• 3/4 Cup whipped cream for serving, optional

Directions

• Stir the Stir the cornstarch into 1/3 cup of the milk; set it aside.
• In a small saucepan, whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder, light brown sugar, salt, water, and instant espresso powder (if using) together until smooth. Stir continuously over medium heat until just bubbly. Give the cornstarch mixture a quick stir before pouring it into the pan. Whisk the remaining milk into the pan until all is combined. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until the pudding becomes quite thick and bubbly. Remove pudding from the heat. Whisk the vanilla Greek yogurt into the pudding until well blended.

To serve warm, let the pudding stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then remove the plastic wrap before serving. To serve cold, place the wrapped pudding into the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours. Serve chilled pudding with a tablespoon or two of whipped cream on top, if desired.
