Arsenal Chocolate Pudding

This makes the best bowl of chocolate pudding I've ever tasted, and would make a fine base for a vanilla pudding.

• 2-1/4 c whole milk
  
• 6 T sugar
  
• 2 T cocoa powder
  
• 2 T cornstarch
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 2 large egg yolks
  
• 5 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and lukewarm
  
• 2 T butter
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Heat the milk in a heavy pot. While the milk is heating, put the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, salt, egg, and yolks in a blender. Add enough warm milk to get the mixture well-blended. While whisking, add the blended mixture back to the rest of the milk. Keep whisking and bring the mixture to a boil. It will thicken. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate. In batches if necessary, blend the mixture on high speed for 10 seconds to incorporate air. Add pieces of butter while blending. Put all of the blended mixture in a bowl, stir in the vanilla extract, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before eating.
