Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 250 ml heavy cream
• 150 ml whole milk
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for garnishing)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 5

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (do not allow it to boil).

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl of chopped chocolate.

Step 7

Let the custard sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 8

Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 9

Divide the chocolate pudding into 4 serving glasses or ramekins.

Step 10

Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 11

Before serving, dust the top of each pudding with cocoa powder for garnish.
