Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 5 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), finely chopped
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of the milk and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of milk, cocoa powder, and cornstarch until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly pour the cocoa-cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly.
In a heatproof mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Begin tempering the yolks by slowly ladling about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously.
With the yolks tempered, pour the mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens further and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
Pour the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a smooth texture. Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes or one large bowl.
Cover the surface of the pudding directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit if desired.
