Ingredients
Pudding
- 10 oz (300g) dark chocolate (70 -75% cacao)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 cup (16oz / 480g) whole Milk
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons water
Whipped cream
- 1 cup (240ml) cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method – Pudding
- In a medium-sized saucepan, warm the milk and dark chocolate over medium heat until the chocolate melts.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 4 teaspoons of water together to form a liquid paste.
- Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the melted milk-chocolate, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a very low simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the cornstarch has cooked out.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Set aside to cool down. Serve with whipped cream on top.
Method – Whipped cream
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream, powder sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip the cream, as it could curdle or turn to butter.
- Spoon on top of individual portions of the pudding or cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
