Analyzing cooking steps...
You can use Dutch process or natural cocoa powder; Dutch process gives a darker color and slightly less acidic taste.
Temper the egg mixture carefully by slowly adding hot liquid while whisking vigorously to prevent the egg yolks from scrambling.
The addition of butter provides extra richness, silkiness, and helps the pudding set beautifully.
For an intensified chocolate flavor, add 1 teaspoon of espresso powder with the dry ingredients. Skip this if making for children or if you prefer to avoid caffeine.
To achieve a perfectly smooth pudding surface and prevent a 'skin' from forming during chilling, press plastic wrap or parchment paper directly onto the surface of the warm pudding.
