Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams cream cheese
- 170 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 360 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and cocoa powder to the cream cheese, and beat until well combined and fluffy.
Gradually pour in the milk, a little at a time, while continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Mix in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is blended into a silky pudding base.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate pudding mixture in two batches, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.
Divide the pudding evenly among four serving dishes. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Cover each dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
Serve chilled and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
