Steps:
- Put 1 1/2 cups of the milk, the sugar, and the cocoa in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer, over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat.

This chocolate pudding recipe is easy to make and always a hit with chocolate lovers. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and decadent dessert that everyone will enjoy.
