Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.25 cups Malted milk powder
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
- Crushed malted milk balls (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and malted milk powder until smooth and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking continuously to combine.
Return the saucepan to medium heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble gently, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until melted and fully incorporated.
Divide the pudding evenly among 6 serving dishes. Cover the surface of each pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until well-chilled.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and crushed malted milk balls for extra flavor and texture.
