Description
The most delicious, rich and silky chocolate pudding made in just 10 minutes in one pan, no mixer. Served warm or cold, it is the perfect quick and easy chocolate dessert for hosting! This recipe makes 4 generous servings, but can easily be scaled up or down.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk (240g)`
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (160g)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp cornstarch (25g)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (12g)
- 1/3 cup sugar (65g)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 160g to 180g chopped chocolate or chocolate callets depending on how rich you want the pudding. You can use a mixture of milk and dark chocolates based on your preference, but I do not recommend more than half dark chocolate as the result will be too rich
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large nonstick saucepan
- Place on the stove on low heat, and use a whisk to gently stir and cook the pudding until the butter and chocolate melt and all ingredients combine. It will look strange and lumpy in the beginning but will come together as it cooks
- Keep cooking and stirring on low heat until the pudding comes to a boil. After this point, it will start to thicken up quickly. Keep an eye on it, and cook until the pudding feels reaches a custard like consistency (thick but still pourable). Remove from the heat. The total cooking time should be around 8-10 minutes
- Strain the pudding to remove any lumps. Pour it into the serving cups / dish of your choice
- If serving warm, serve right away. If serving cold, place in the fridge for 2-4 hours until the pudding forms a film on top and sets (it will be a semi-set consistency, not fully firm)
- Optionally, garnish with fresh berries and / or chocolate shavings. Serve and enjoy!
