Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no clumps remain. Set the saucepan over medium heat.
Continuously stir the mixture until it begins to thicken and bubble. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes while stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the chocolate chips. Stir until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour in the orange zest and orange juice, stirring until fully incorporated.
Transfer the chocolate mixture into individual serving bowls or ramekins. Allow them to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
While the pudding chills, prepare the orange cream topping: In a medium bowl, whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the pudding is set, dollop the orange cream on each serving and garnish with additional orange zest, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
