In another small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup evaporated milk. In medium saucepan, combine remaining evaporated milk, cocoa mixture and cornstarch mixture. Over medium-low heat, stir pudding constantly until it thickens and comes to a boil, about 6 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Pour into bowl. Cool slightly.
