Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 3 tablespoons Frangelico liqueur
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional garnish whipped cream
- optional garnish chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until fully blended.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of cold milk or water to create a slurry.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering chocolate mixture. Continue cooking and stirring for 2–3 minutes until the pudding thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
Add the Frangelico liqueur, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it into serving dishes or ramekins.
Cover each serving with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the pudding surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts if desired.
