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.

MUM'S CHRISTMAS PUDDING



Mum's Christmas Pudding image

My little mum made two puddings each year, one for Christmas Day and another for New Year's Day. She'd put money in the Christmas Day pudding (silver coins), it was always such a treat to find the money when we were kids. I haven't allowed for re-heating and fridge time in preparation times. I have also guessed on how many serves, it goes a long way when there is so much other food being served. It is lovely cold and keeps for ages in the fridge. I always make this in a pudding basin as it is easy to reheat a basin in a crockpot, it doesn't make the kitchen hot and in Australia our Christmas is usually very hot.

MUM'S CHRISTMAS PUDDING

Good Food reader Christine Ford shares her late mum's Christmas pudding recipe - the ideal last-minute option as it doesn't need to mature to taste really good

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h40m

Yield Makes 1 x 2l/3.5 pint and 1 x 1l/1.75 pint pudding

Number Of Ingredients 15

450g white breadcrumbs
350g golden caster sugar
225g vegetarian suet
100g self-raising flour
50g almonds , roughly chopped
225g currants
225g sultanas
225g raisins
175g mixed peel
1 tsp each mixed spice , ground ginger and grated nutmeg
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
2 tbsp treacle
zest and juice 1 lemon
zest and juice 1 orange

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients, except the eggs, treacle and lemon and orange juice, into your largest bowl with 1 tsp salt, then mix. Add the remaining ingredients along with 700ml water, then mix to a consistency that drops off your spoon. Cover and leave in a cool place overnight. The mixture will become firm.
  • The next day, add enough water to bring the mix back to a dropping consistency, then spoon into greased pudding basins - we used a 2 litre and a 1 litre. Cover with pleated greaseproof paper and foil, and secure with string.
  • Lower the puddings into a saucepan with upturned saucers or scrunched-up bits of foil in the bottom (so the puds don't touch the bottom), then fill with boiling water from the kettle until it comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Simmer the smaller pudding for 2-2½ hrs and the larger one for 3-3½ hrs. Cool, wrap well in foil and chill for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add a natural sweetness and creaminess to the pudding, resulting in a richer flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of sugar called for in the recipe can be adjusted to your preference. If you like your pudding sweeter, add an extra tablespoon or two of sugar. If you prefer a less sweet pudding, reduce the sugar by a tablespoon or two.
  • Add a bit of spice: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm and cozy flavor to the pudding. For a more complex flavor profile, try adding a mixture of spices, such as allspice, cloves, and ginger.
  • Use different fruits: While bananas are the classic ingredient in this pudding, you can also use other fruits, such as apples, pears, or berries. Simply substitute the bananas with your desired fruit in equal amounts.
  • Make it gluten-free: To make a gluten-free version of this pudding, use gluten-free bread or crackers. You can also use almond flour or coconut flour as a substitute for the bread or crackers.
