Description

Experience the ultimate indulgence with this rich and creamy chocolate pudding recipe. Made with a blend of whole milk, heavy cream, and a mix of milk and dark chocolate, this pudding is smooth, velvety, and intensely chocolatey. Ready in just 10 minutes on the stovetop, it's a perfect easy-to-make dessert that can be served warm or chilled to your liking.

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (240g)
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (160g)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp cornstarch (25g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (12g)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (65g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Chocolate

  • 160g to 180g chopped chocolate or chocolate callets (milk and dark mix recommended, no more than half dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a large nonstick saucepan.
  2. Low Heat Stirring: Place the saucepan on low heat and gently whisk everything together. Cook while stirring until the butter and chocolate melt and the mixture combines. It may look lumpy initially but will smooth out as it heats.
  3. Thicken the Pudding: Continue cooking on low heat, stirring continuously until the pudding comes to a boil. Once boiling, it will thicken quickly; cook until it reaches a custard-like consistency that is thick but still pourable. This should take about 8-10 minutes total cooking time.
  4. Strain for Smoothness: Remove from heat and strain the pudding to remove any lumps, ensuring a silky smooth texture. Pour the pudding into your serving dishes or cups.
  5. Serve Warm or Chill: Serve immediately if you prefer it warm. For a chilled dessert, refrigerate the pudding for 2-4 hours until it sets to a semi-firm consistency with a thin film on top.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with fresh berries and/or chocolate shavings before serving to add a fresh and decorative touch.

Notes

  • Using a mix of milk and dark chocolate balances richness and smoothness; avoid using more than half dark chocolate to prevent an overly intense flavor.
  • Constant whisking is key to prevent lumps and ensure even cooking.
  • The pudding will thicken rapidly once boiling—watch closely to avoid curdling or burning at the bottom.
  • For a smoother texture, straining is highly recommended, especially if lumps appear.
  • Chilling the pudding improves texture and flavor blending but can be served warm for immediate enjoyment.
