Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons crushed chocolate mints (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and creme de menthe liqueur, if using.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly before covering each dish with plastic wrap. Ensure the plastic touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and garnish with crushed chocolate mints, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Silly Easy Chocolate Creme De Menthe Pudding!
