Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 125 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids), finely chopped
- 25 grams Cocoa powder
- 40 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 100 ml Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 10 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 2
While the milk mixture is heating, whisk the cocoa powder and cornstarch in a small bowl. Gradually add a few tablespoons of the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking to form a smooth paste. This helps prevent lumps.
Step 3
Once the milk mixture is hot but not boiling, lower the heat to medium-low. Slowly whisk the cocoa-starch paste into the saucepan, ensuring no clumps form.
Step 4
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Continue to whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding thickens, about 3–5 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Step 6
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
