CHOCOLATE PUDDINO



Chocolate Puddino image

Perfect for Valentine's Day, this rich and delicious chocolate pudding is made with a classic Italian method that they call "budino." The pudding has a glorious texture--firm enough to stay on the spoon and hold its shape, but at the same time, soft, smooth, and silky. It's a perfect balance between intense chocolate flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness, topped with a soft whipped cream topping that elevates it to a whole new level of amazingness!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces dark chocolate chips
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
6 large eggs
⅓ cup white sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup heavy cream, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste
2 tablespoons shaved dark chocolate, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chocolate chips, salt, and cayenne in a heat-proof measuring cup; set aside.
  • Separate eggs by cracking one egg into your hand over a bowl. Open your fingers slightly and gently jiggle your hand until the egg white falls into the bowl below. Transfer the yolk to a skillet. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reserve egg whites for another use.
  • Add sugar, milk, and cream to egg yolks. Whisk thoroughly, breaking egg yolks first, until well combined.
  • Place skillet on the stove over medium or medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spoon, until very hot and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 175 degrees F (79 degrees C). Remove from the heat.
  • Set a fine sieve over the bowl of reserved chocolate. Strain the custard sauce into the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until chocolate has melted and custard sauce is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and butter; stir until butter has melted, about 1 minute.
  • Pour warm custard sauce into 6 serving glasses. Tilt each glass and rotate it around so the warm chocolate coats another 1/2 inch of the glass. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 3 to 4 hours.
  • Combine cream and vanilla extract for topping in a metal bowl and whisk until thickened; make sure no peaks form. Spoon cream into the glasses, then tilt and twirl to coat the sides a bit.
  • Garnish with shaved chocolate and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
4 teaspoons cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Put 1 1/2 cups of the milk, the sugar, and the cocoa in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer, over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and continue whisking until thick, about 2 or 3 minutes more.
  • Pour the pudding into 6 small cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight until set.
  • Just before serving pour the cream into a chilled bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or a hand held mixer, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Take care not to over-beat the cream or it will be grainy. Serve each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 chocolate sandwich cookies

6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces

Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, 6 to 8 minutes (maybe less, maybe more; just watch it!).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (if making chocolate pudding)
2 1/2 cups milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. If making chocolate pudding, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks.
  • Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding.
  • Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your pudding. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use full-fat milk: Full-fat milk will give your pudding a richer, creamier texture. If you use low-fat or skim milk, your pudding will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the pudding to set properly.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, chocolate chips, and fresh berries are all great options.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and creamy pudding that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
