How to make Chocolate Pudding
- Finely chop both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate and set aside.
- In a small sauce pot, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt.
- Pour in 125 milliliters of milk and whisk to combine. Then pour in the remaining milk and heavy cream and whisk again.
- Drop in the egg yolk and whisk once more.
- Place the pot over medium heat and whisk. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken.
- If it starts to bubble vigorously, turn the heat down. Whisk and cook for about 2-3 after the mixture has started bubbling and thickening.
- Remove the pot from the heat and pour in both chopped chocolates, whisk until they have melted in.
- Cut the butter into 3 pieces. Then, add in the butter and vanilla and whisk again until the butter has fully melted.
- Pour the pudding into your desired serving dishes.
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of each pudding and place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 2 hours but up to overnight. Chilling time will vary depending on the size of your serving dishes.
Notes
While it may be tempting to eat this pudding warm, it really should set and chill in the fridge for all of the flavors to blend together.
When cooking the pudding be sure not to walk away from it. You need to keep whisking the mixture while it cooks to keep it from clumping.
Don't forget to lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the surface of the pudding while it chills to keep it from forming a skin.
