Homemade Pudding - pudding fixes everything!

For dark:
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 & 1/2 cups whole milk (but I use 2% or 1%)
1&1/2 cups heavy cream
2 (4 oz) bars bittersweet chocolate, broken up
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt to combine.  Slowly whisk in milk and cream.  Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.  Reduce heat and continue cooking until mixture thickens, 1 - 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add chocolate bar, butter, and vanilla.  Whisk until chocolate melts and mixture is blended.  Put in a bowl with plastic wrap over the surface of the pudding.  Chill.  Makes 4 large servings.

For milk chocolate:
Reduce sugar and cocoa powder to 3 tablespoons each and substitute milk chocolate for bittersweet bars.

For white chocolate:
Reduce sugar to 3 tablespoons, omit cocoa powder, and substitute white chocolate for bittersweet bars.
