Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
• 3 tablespoons Frangelico liqueur
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 optional garnish whipped cream
• 0 optional garnish chopped hazelnuts

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of cold milk or water to create a slurry.

Step 4

Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering chocolate mixture. Continue cooking and stirring for 2–3 minutes until the pudding thickens.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate until fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Add the Frangelico liqueur, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 7

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it into serving dishes or ramekins.

Step 8

Cover each serving with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the pudding surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts if desired.
