CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY CREAM



Chocolate Pudding With Raspberry Cream image

This rich, creamy chocolate pudding is a comforting dessert for two that comes together in no time at all. Use Dutch-process cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor, but natural cocoa will work too, if that's what you keep around. This pudding is also easy to dress up for any occasion. Raspberry cream and a handful of fresh raspberries adorn this version, but you could also top with a dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Provided by Yossy Arefi

Categories     snack, custards and puddings, dessert

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup/240 milliliters whole milk
1 large egg yolk
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon/75 grams granulated sugar
5 tablespoons/30 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup/80 grams fresh raspberries
1/3 cup/80 milliliters heavy cream

Steps:

  • Add the milk and egg yolk to a measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
  • Add 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Whisk the milk and egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth.
  • Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble, stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula and making sure to scrape the corners and bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles, cook for an additional minute until thick and creamy, taking extra care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid scorching the mixture, 6 to 8 minutes total. If you do get a few small lumps, whisk the mixture vigorously for a few seconds to smooth them. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Spoon the pudding into two small serving bowls or glasses, and press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • When you are ready to serve the pudding, make the raspberry cream: Combine 1/2 teaspoon sugar with about 4 raspberries in a small bowl. Mash them together with a fork and macerate. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the top of the whipped cream and fold a few times. (The mixture should be streaky.)
  • Top the pudding with the remaining raspberries and a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-PRALINE BREAD PUDDING WITH CINNAMON CREAM



Chocolate-Praline Bread Pudding with Cinnamon Cream image

Categories     Bread     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kosher     Cinnamon     Simmer

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Praline
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Pudding
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs plus 3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
6 cups crustless day-old bread, in 1-inch cubes
Cinnamon Cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the praline: Lightly oil a baking sheet or line it with a silicone baking mat. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking without stirring until the sugar syrup turns to dark caramel, 5 to 7 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally and gently so the caramel darkens evenly. Monitor the caramel closely during the final moments as it can quickly go from perfect to burnt. Work cautiously, as hot caramel can cause a nasty burn.
  • Stir in the pecans, then immediately pour the hot praline onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Let cool until hard, then break into small pieces.
  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch square pan.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Put half of the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Whisk until smooth.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until well blended. Add to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk well.
  • Add the bread cubes and allow them to soak for about 30 minutes, pushing them down into the liquid occasionally. Fold in the remaining chopped chocolate. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the praline over the surface. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the smaller pan. Bake until the pudding is firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. Remove the smaller pan from the water bath and let the pudding cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the cream: In a bowl, with a whisk or electric beaters, whip together the cream, confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon to soft peaks.
  • To serve, cut the pudding into 12 pieces. Serve warm, accompanied by a dollop of cinnamon cream.

SALTED CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED SOUR CREAM



Salted Chocolate Pudding With Whipped Sour Cream image

A classic, old-fashioned chocolate pudding, this dessert is made a bit more interesting by layering with whipped sour cream (for a little tang) and crushed cookies of your choosing (for texture). While you can absolutely make and serve chocolate pudding in individual cups, there is something delightfully communal about sharing it from one giant vessel, which can be nearly anything you want: Mixing bowls, trifle bowls or baking dishes all work, just aim for something tall and deep so you can build as many layers as possible.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces/225 grams bittersweet chocolate (65 to 70 percent), finely chopped
3 cups/720 milliliters heavy cream
3 cups/720 milliliters whole milk
1/3 cup/30 grams cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
6 large egg yolks
1/3 cup/45 grams cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
3 cups/720 milliliters heavy cream
3/4 cup/90 grams confectioners' sugar
3 cups/720 milliliters sour cream
12 ounces/340 grams thin wafer cookies, such as gingerbread, vanilla wafers or chocolate wafers
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the pudding: Place chocolate in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Heat heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder and 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar in a medium pot over medium-high, whisking constantly until the mixture comes to a bare simmer, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar, the egg yolks, the cornstarch, the salt and the vanilla, if using, until the mixture is lump-free and pale in color. Ladle a bit of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks and whisk until completely blended, adding a bit more at a time until half the cream mixture is added. Transfer the yolk-cream mixture back into the pot with the remaining cream mixture.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and, whisking constantly, cook until the mixture has gone from thin and watery to thick and custardy, with the occasional bubble popping up, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Immediately pour the mixture over the chocolate, and let sit for a minute or two, giving the bowl a shake to help the chocolate settle as it melts. Using a whisk, mix the chocolate into the cream as it melts, until you have an ultrasmooth, silky pudding. Transfer to a flat baking dish (an 8-by-8-inch pan works well) and cover the top of the pudding with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until pudding is completely set, at least 3 hours and up to 48 hours.
  • Assemble and serve: Using either an electric mixer on medium or a whisk and elbow grease, whisk heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. (The cream should hold a gentle peak.) Whisk in sour cream.
  • To serve, spoon a bit of chocolate pudding into a serving vessel. This can be done in individual bowls, glasses, cups or coupes, or alternatively, one large bowl or baking dish - the choice is yours. Then spoon in an equal amount of whipped sour cream, and scatter with crumbled cookies. Repeat until the vessel is full, topping with flaky salt.
  • Eat immediately, so the cookies stay crunchy, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FESTIVE CHOCOLATE CREAM PUDDING - MICROWAVE



Festive Chocolate Cream Pudding - Microwave image

I made this for Christmas day lunch, experimenting with microwave recipes found in "Christmas Microwave Know-How". The recipes are designed for a 650/700 watt microwave, and mine is a little larger, so I adjusted cooking times accordingly, cooking for slightly shorter times than suggested. I was very pleased with how simple it was to turn out an attractive and delicious pudding! The original recipe called for 2 tsp of instant coffee powder, but my children don't care for coffee, so I subbed 2 tsp of cocoa powder instead, for a chocolate pudding. Next time, I will fold in some chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips, for a richer pudding. I might also substitute some of the milk for cream, maybe about 150 ml. A tblsp of rum might be nice too!

NOTE YOU CAN USE INSTANT PUDDING IF PREFERRED. DON'T FORGET TO USE 1/2 CUP LESS MILK PER BOX BEING USED. BEAT PER INSTUCTIONS AND SPREAD OVER CHEESE LAYER. LET PIE SET FOR SEVERAL HOURS OR OVER NIGHT.
8 oz softened cream cheese
1 Tbsp milk for cream cheese
2 Tbsp sugar
8 oz Cool Whip divided
2 pkg chocolate fudge pudding
3 c milk
nuts or garnish of choice
1 graham cracker crust

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pudding mix with milk in sauce pan. See instructions for pie on box. Omit one cup milk from pie directions. Normally it is 2 cups milk per box. Use 1 1/2 c milk per box. Cook and stir to boiling. After it thickens. remove frim heat. Cool for 15 minutes.
  • 2. While it is cooling. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and tablespoon of milk together. Mix in 4 ounces (1/2) the Cool Whip. Combine well.
  • 3. Spread cheese mixture in bottom of crust. Top cheese layer with cooled pudding. Put in fridge uncovered for a few hours or overnight. Serve with remaining Cool Whip. Garnish with nuts, chocolate chips or shaved chocolate.

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest pudding, make sure to whisk the cornstarch and milk mixture until it's completely smooth before adding it to the hot milk. Any lumps will remain in the pudding.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can still make this pudding using a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Just be sure to stir the mixture constantly to prevent it from scorching.
  • For a richer pudding, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • If you want a thicker pudding, add more cornstarch. Just be sure to whisk it together with the milk until it's completely smooth before adding it to the hot milk.
  • If you want a sweeter pudding, add more sugar. Just be sure to taste it before serving to make sure it's not too sweet.
  • For a more chocolatey pudding, use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of Dutch-process cocoa powder. Dutch-process cocoa powder has a milder chocolate flavor.
  • To make chocolate cream pudding, simply add 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips to the pudding after it has been cooked. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth.
  • Serve chocolate cream pudding warm or cold. It can be served on its own, or topped with whipped cream, berries, or nuts.
