Ingredients
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
4 tsp cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp fine salt
1 cup whipping cream
2 tbsp Drambuie
sliced strawberries, garnish
mint leaves, garnish

Cooking Tools
Medium saucepan
Small mixing bowl
Medium mixing bowl
Hand mixer

Directions
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.  Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more. Pour the pudding into 6 small cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.  Just before serving pour the cream into a chilled bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or a hand held mixer, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Take care not to over-beat the cream, pour Drambuie in the whip cream and whip for 10 secs.  Serve pudding with a dollop of cream, sliced strawberries and mint leaf for garnish.
