Add the cold milk in a thin stream, stirring with a hand whisk to avoid lumps.
Place the mixture in a saucepan over low heat and stir often to cook and thicken the Carnival sweet blood pudding. It will take about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop the dark chocolate and add it to the pot when the mixture has thickened, always stirring with the hand whisk.
Finally, off the heat, add the cold butter in pieces and stir to melt it. Then transfer the mixture to a glass container, cover with cling film in contact, and let it reach room temperature.
