Easy egg-free Chocolate Pudding

This chocolate pudding type mousse is simply divine.  You will want to make this every time for dessert with friends or as a treat to have in the fridge.  It is simple yet decadent and is really a favourite of ours.  Plus, it is egg-free which is fabulous for us as many of Mani's family don't eat eggs and you would be surprised to know how hard it is to find shop-bought desserts without egg.

Egg-free Chocolate Pudding
Makes 2 - 4 portions, double the quantities for one large dessert to service 4-6 people.

1/4 cup cornflour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/3 cup dark chocolate pieces
3 cups milk
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon butter

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of milk to the boil.
In the meantime, whisk together the cornflour, cocoa and caster sugar in a bowl with the remaining 1 cup of milk until smooth.
Whisk the cocoa mixture into the boiling milk and reduce the heat.  Stir in the chocolate and mix until it begins to thicken.
Take off the heat and stir in the butter.
Pour into individual bowls or one big serving bowl and chill for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.

Serve with fresh berries or as it is.
