Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 150 ml whole milk
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for garnishing)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (do not allow it to boil).
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl of chopped chocolate.
Let the custard sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Divide the chocolate pudding into 4 serving glasses or ramekins.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, dust the top of each pudding with cocoa powder for garnish.
