Creating Chocolate Pudding Delight can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well blended.
2. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Cook Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stir the mixture as it heats, bringing it to a gentle boil.
4. Thicken Pudding: Once boiling, keep stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
5. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully combined and smooth.
6. Cool the Pudding: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
8. Serve: Once chilled, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.

These simple steps will guide you to create this incredible dessert with ease.
