Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole 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
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, espresso powder, and salt.
Slowly add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon.
Cook the mixture until it starts to thicken and bubble, about 8-10 minutes. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
