¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces unsweetened
chocolate, roughly chopped
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup mini-marshmallows
½ cup sweetened grated coconut (toasted or not)
1. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup milk with the cornstarch.
2. In a heavy saucepan, mix the malted-milk powder, cocoa and salt. Slowly whisk in the remaining milk, chocolate and sugar. Melt the chocolate over medium heat, stirring often.
3. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Cook on very low heat, stirring often, until thick and starting to boil, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in vanilla. Let stand, stirring often, until pudding is just warm.
4. Portion into ½-cup bowls or parfait glasses. Cover closely with plastic wrap. Chill until set or for up to 3 days. Serve with marshmallows and coconut on top.
