3 tablespoons cornstarch
Mix cornstarch, sugar, and salt with 1/4 cup cold milk.
Heat the remaining milk, then slowly add it to the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, in a heavy-bottomed pan over moderately low heat or in a double boiler over simmering water. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes so that the raw taste of the cornstarch disappears.
Let cool, then add vanilla. Cover and chill.

I made this one once after reading the ingredients on a package of instant pudding. It's actually a recipe for vanilla pudding, but I just kept adding cocoa powder until it was the way I like it.
