Quick Cocoa Yogurt Pudding

1.In a small mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

2.In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and gradually whisk in the dry mixture until smooth and free of lumps.

3.Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat once thickened.

4.Allow the cocoa mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes to avoid curdling the yogurt.

5.In a separate large bowl, whisk the yogurt and vanilla essence until smooth and creamy.

6.Slowly add the warm cocoa mixture into the yogurt while continuously stirring to combine thoroughly and achieve a smooth pudding texture.

7.Divide the pudding evenly into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.

8.Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
