Instructions

1. Prepare the Base
   In a saucepan, pour the whole milk and heat it over medium flame. Stir gently with a whisk to help combine the milk evenly.

2. Melt the Chocolate
   Chop the dark chocolate roughly with a knife. Add the chocolate into the saucepan with the butter. Allow the mixture to melt on a moderate flame, stirring occasionally with a whisk until smooth.

3. Thicken the Mixture
   Once the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, sift the cornstarch into the saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to ensure that the cornstarch is fully incorporated into the mixture.

4. Cook the Pudding
   Continue to cook the mixture for a few more minutes, stirring constantly. The pudding will begin to thicken as it heats. Once it starts to solidify, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the pudding cool slightly in the pan—note that it will continue to thicken as it cools.

5. Prepare the Pudding Molds
   Lightly wet two 150 ml pudding molds. Immediately pour the chocolate mixture into the molds, filling them halfway. Crumble one amaretti biscuit into each mold for added texture and flavor.

6. Chill the Pudding
   Allow the molds to cool to room temperature, then cover each with its lid. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, allowing the pudding to set completely.

7. Serve and Decorate
   After the chilling time has passed, remove the lids from the molds. Carefully invert the molds onto small plates to release the pudding. Garnish the top with crumbled amaretti biscuits, chocolate shavings, and a few pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and a refreshing contrast.

Enjoy your decadent chocolate pudding with a delightful crunch of amaretti and the juicy tang of pomegranate for a truly indulgent treat!
