Ingredients
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no clumps remain. Set the saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Continuously stir the mixture until it begins to thicken and bubble. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the chocolate chips. Stir until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Pour in the orange zest and orange juice, stirring until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Transfer the chocolate mixture into individual serving bowls or ramekins. Allow them to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
Step 8
While the pudding chills, prepare the orange cream topping: In a medium bowl, whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Step 9
Once the pudding is set, dollop the orange cream on each serving and garnish with additional orange zest, if desired.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy!
