Step 1: In a saucepan whisk together the first 4 ingredients (sugar - salt).
Step 2: In a large bowl whisk together the next 3 ingredients (egg yolks - cream); scrape vanilla seeds from pod and add to bowl. Whisk liquid ingredients into dry ingredients.
Step 3: Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, whisking until mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate, butter and vanilla extra (the mixture will thicken). Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.
Step 4: Divide pudding among small bowls and cover with plastic wrap (the plastic wrap should be directly on the surface of the pudding). Chill for 4 hours or up to 3 days.
