Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 ounces Dark chocolate
• 0 optional Whipped cream
• 0 optional Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, instant espresso powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup of milk until well combined.

Step 4

Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 5

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.

Step 6

Continue to cook the pudding over medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and dark chocolate pieces until the chocolate is completely melted and integrated.

Step 8

Pour the pudding into individual serving cups or ramekins. Allow them to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until fully chilled and set.

Step 9

Before serving, top the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings, if desired.
