Add sugar, salt, and cornstarch to a small saucepan and blend well together.

Add milk, heavy cream, rum, and egg yolks to the saucepan and whisk until dry ingredients are dissolved.

Cook over medium-high heat while whisking until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla extract, blending well together.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and press plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin from forming.

Chill the bowl in the fridge.

Chop dark chocolate into small shavings or use a potato peeler to create curls.

Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Once the pudding is cold, add chocolate shavings and mix lightly, reserving some for decoration.

Carefully fold in the whipped cream.

Portion the cream into individual glasses and chill for a couple of hours.

Sprinkle with chocolate shavings before serving and garnish with raspberries or other fresh fruits.
