Chocolate Pudding

Melt the butter. In a separate pan, warm the milk. Stir the cocoa and boiling water together to a paste; then mix in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt and mix into the milk. Add the cocoa-butter mixture, and the beaten egg. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until thick. Do not allow to boil. Remove from stove and mix in remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and vanilla.

Cool. Serve topped with Apple Snow or whipped cream.
