Chocolate pudding

This is from Tyler Florence.

2 cups whole milk (only I use 2%)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
4 tsp corn starch
3 large egg yolks (I break the egg yolk and remove the membrane that surrounds the yolk, very messy but this way the pudding is super smooth)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine salt
3/4 cup whipping cream (for topping, not really necessary for the pudding itself)

Bring to a simmer over med-high 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and cocoa. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile whisk 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla. Gradually whisk in cocoa mixture, return to sauce pan over med-high heat, and whisk constantly until pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 mins.
