BAKED CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM



Baked Chocolate Puddings with Vanilla Whipped Cream image

Meriel MacDonald of London, England, writes: "Having grown up at Kinloch Lodge, my family's hotel on the Isle of Skye, I truly understand what it means to be too busy to cook. There were always guests to attend to, telephones ringing, and other interruptions. Still, my mother found the time to cook while overseeing the hotel's day-to-day business. Today, she continues to run Kinloch Lodge, and over the years she has shared with me many of her recipes and cooking tips, which have helped me in my job as catering manager for a large advertising agency. For work events, I often rely on family recipes, because they're dependable and delicious. I also use many of those same recipes for simple home suppers during the workweek." This pudding is really more like a warm chocolate soufflé cake.

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.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the pudding will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and grainy. Cook it just until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
  • For a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • For a vegan pudding, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
  • To make a chocolate pudding pie, pour the pudding into a pie crust and top with whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pudding is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. Whether you like it rich and decadent or light and airy, there is a chocolate pudding recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate pudding a try.
