Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 cup chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil. This will take about 7-10 minutes.
Once the mixture boils, continue cooking for 1 additional minute to ensure the cornstarch is fully activated, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the dark chocolate pieces and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the puddings for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, top each pudding with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your luxurious Chocolate Latte Pudding!
