MOM'S CHOCOLATE PUDDING



Mom's Chocolate Pudding image

My mom came to the United States from Colombia when she was 16 years old. She married at 17, had her first child by 18 and quickly needed to find her way in the kitchen. New American convenience foods were a novelty to her, and we were occasionally treated to pudding from the store. My brother loved chocolate pudding so much that, once my mom became more fluent in the kitchen, she decided to try making it from scratch. Chocolate pudding became one of our favorite childhood treats, and it's still one that makes me remember my mom and all the fun and nostalgia of my childhood in the 1960s and '70s. - Claudia Sidoti, Manager, Test Kitchen

Time 4h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, plus more for garnish, optional
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk the milk, granulated sugar, cocoa and cornstarch constantly in a nonreactive medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the cocoa has fully dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a light gravy, 6 to 7 minutes more. Stir in the chopped chocolate, vanilla and a pinch of salt and continue to cook, whisking, until the chocolate has melted and the pudding is thick and creamy, about 2 minutes more. Remove the pudding from the heat, add the butter and stir until the butter has melted.
  • Divide the pudding evenly into six 6- to 8-ounce ramekins or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight until cold and fully set.
  • Before serving, pour the cream and confectioners' sugar into a chilled medium bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and chopped-chocolate garnish if using.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE GRAVY

When Mom and Pop got married, Pop had to call Mamaw to get this recipe. When he was growing up, they were really poor (Papaw was a Baptist preacher and worked at various jobs. Back then life was hard for a preacher with 4 kids). This was one of their "desserts". Mom also made this when we were growing up and to this day, I still love a big hot heapin helpin. One might ask how do you eat "chocolate gravy"? With homemade "cat-head" biscuits (Mamaw called them this because she made them "big as a cat's head") or canned country-style (Do not try this with one of those flaky-type canned biscuits - it just isn't the same.) and a chunk of butter about the size of the tip of your thumb. Let it kinda melt, then eat away. This is just like any other gravy, other than the addition of the butter at the table. I eat this with milk or coffee as the beverage, as nothing else tastes good. This is Redneck comfort food at its finest! **Times and yield are approximate. Please z-mail me with what you come up with.**

Tips:

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for a richer flavor. A Dutch-process cocoa powder is a good choice.
  • Ensure the milk and butter used are cold before starting. This will help the mixture thicken properly.
  • Whisk the mixture constantly to ensure no lumps form. A wire whisk works best for this.
  • To avoid scorching, cook the mixture over medium-low heat. Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens.
  • Serve the gravy while it's still hot. It will thicken further as it cools.
  • For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or instant coffee powder along with the cocoa powder.
  • For a thicker gravy, add more cornstarch or flour. For a thinner gravy, add more milk.
  • Serve the chocolate gravy over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream. It can also be used as a dip for fruit or cookies.
