- 1 liter Whole Milk (Use whole milk for a richer texture; can substitute with 2% milk)
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch (For thickening the pudding)
- 4 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (Adjust sweetness to taste)
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (High‑quality cocoa gives deep flavor)

Measure Milk
Pour 1 liter (4 cups) of whole milk into a medium saucepan.
