Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Pudding Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, heavy cream, dark cocoa powder, cornstarch, and kosher salt. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat, continually stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until fully melted.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for about 40 minutes until the top appears set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  7. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or fresh berries.

Ensure chocolate chips melt completely by stirring them in right after removing from heat for a silky texture. Monitor closely during baking to avoid overbaking.
