Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
  • 2 cups Milk Whole milk yields creamier pudding.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Adjust to taste if desired.
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch Helps thicken the pudding.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract For added flavor.
  • 2 cups Mini marshmallows For topping.
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream (optional) For whipped topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and comes to a boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the pudding into serving cups and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  5. Once the pudding is set, top each cup with mini marshmallows.
  6. If desired, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown. Alternatively, you can broil them in the oven for a few seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your campfire treat!

Notes

Always whisk constantly while cooking to avoid lumps in the pudding. Let the pudding cool for at least 2 hours for the best texture. For an elegant presentation, consider using clear cups to show off the layers.
