Chocolate Pudding Cups

🍰 Desserts

Stovetop chocolate pudding, the scratch-built version of the childhood cup. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Serve chilled, straight from the fridge, in small glasses or ramekins.

Prep 18 min Cook 14 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Cornstarch1 cup, chopped
  • Sugar1/3 cup
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Dark Chocolate1 cup, chopped
  • Cocoa Powder1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.

  2. 2

    Combine the milk, cornstarch and sugar, stirring until dissolved, then take it off the heat.

  3. 3

    Whisk the cocoa powder with the sugar, then temper with a ladle of the hot milk, whisking hard.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Chill until fully set — overnight is best — and finish with a scatter of milk.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
