4. Set the pan over medium heat and continue whisking, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan. Continue stirring nonstop for about 10 minutes until the chocolate milk starts thickening and bubbling across the surface.
5. Once your pudding has reached a thick and bubbly state, turn your pan down to a simmer and add the vanilla and butter. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes and then remove from heat.
6. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and carefully pour the pudding in. Stir and fold the pudding to work it through.
