Chocolate Pudding

AmericanUSdessert
15 min
easy
4 servings
Servings4
2.25 cups full milk
0.5 cups sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 egg yolks
20 grams unsalted butter (about 1.5 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla
whipped cream (for serving)
1

In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine 2.25 cups of full milk, 0.5 cups of sugar, 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until smooth.

2

Add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mixture and whisk again.

3

Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently until it comes to a boil. This will take several minutes.

4

While waiting for the mixture to boil, separate 2 eggs, discarding the whites and keeping only the yolks.

5

Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat and let it cook gently for 2 minutes, whisking to ensure smoothness.

6

Remove the pot from heat and temper the egg yolks by slowly adding some of the hot mixture to them until you have about half a cup.

7

Return the pot to the stove, add the tempered egg yolks, and bring it back to a gentle boil, cooking for another minute.

8

Take the pot off the heat and add 20 grams of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

9

Pass the pudding through a strainer to remove any bits of coagulated egg.

10

Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

11

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
