Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- (optional, for garnish) Whipped cream
- (optional, for garnish) Chocolate shavings
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and heavy cream. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until it begins to thicken slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens to a custard-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and incorporated.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and cover each with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Let the pudding cool at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, top the pudding with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
