Dessert at its simplest form if you ask me, is a good chocolate pudding. This chocolate pudding is quick and easy to make, rich and dark, kid-friendly and still always impresses my guests.
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • 1 small pot
  • 1 Whisk

Ingredients

  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 26 grams unsweetened cocoa powder , I used dutch-processed
  • 30 grams cornstarch
  • tiny pinch fine sea salt
  • 480 mL half and half, OR half milk half heavy cream
  • 85 grams dark chocolate, chopped, I used 72% baking chocolate - any kind of chocolate chips should be fine too

Method

  1. In a small pot, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt until they're evenly distributed.
  2. Slowly stream in the half and half (or milk & cream) while whisking. I do this slow so that you don't get floating chunks of dry ingredients.
  3. Once all the milk is added, cook over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes, until you feel it starting to thicken.
  4. Whisk aggressively for another 30-60 seconds, turn the heat off and continue whisking for a another 30-60 seconds so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  5. Add in the chocolate and stir until it's all completely melted and smooth.
  6. Pour into serving cups and serve warm or let cool.
  7. Serve hot or cold, with fresh cream or whipped cream or fruit!*

Notes

  • I topped it with whipped cream. I used half cup with 1-2 Tbsp of sugar to whip up enough.
