Perfect Chocolate Pudding
This homemade chocolate pudding is simple to make, with a rich chocolate flavor and a silky smooth texture.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 4 ounces or 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan whisk together the cream, milk, and egg yolks.
- Add the sugar mixture to the saucepan and whisk to combine well.
- Set the pan over medium heat, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. I like to switch to a silicone spoonula once it starts thickening, to better scrape the sides and bottom of the pan. Note: pull the pan off the heat when you see that first bubble.
- Pour the pudding through a strainer into a bowl and push everything through, leaving any small lumps behind. Note: it helps if your bowl has a spout so you can easily fill your pudding cups.
- Stir in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla until everything is melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.
- Immediately pour into your serving cups. Enjoy warm, or chilled. The pudding will thicken further as it chills, and will be fully set in 3 hours. Top with whipped cream if you like.
Notes
Cut the calories by using all milk instead of milk and cream.
