Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Step 2: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in 3 tbsp molasses rum, 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the chocolate melts and the pudding is glossy and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop whipped cream on each pudding just before serving.
