Bailey's Creamy Chocolate Pudding

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Pour in milk and whisk well to dissolve the cornstarch. Whisk in cream and egg yolk.

Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, for about 4 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.

Remove from heat and whisk in Bailey's. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.

Pour pudding into individual ramekins or serving dishes. Let cool slightly, then cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for two hours or until chilled.

To serve, sprinkle with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
