Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅔ cup sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)
2½ tablespoons cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon salt
2½ cups whole milk
1½ ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped (best quality such as Ghirardelli)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, sprinkles, candies and maraschino cherries (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Add half of the milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the remaining milk. Continue whisking over medium heat until the pudding thickens and comes to boil, about 8 minutes. Continue to boil 1 minute longer, whisking constantly.
  • Remove the pudding from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and vanilla; whisk until the chocolate melts and the pudding is smooth. Divide between 4 dessert dishes. Cover the puddings by placing a small piece of saran wrap inside the dessert dishes and directly over the pudding (this prevents a film from developing at the top). Cool the puddings in the refrigerator until cold and set, 2-3 hours, and then top with whipped cream and toppings and serve.

ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE SUNDAES



Ultimate Chocolate Sundaes image

Make and share this Ultimate Chocolate Sundaes recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces mexican chocolate, coarsley chopped (or bittersweet chocolate)
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup pear liqueur or 1/4 cup pear nectar
4 small pears (about 1 lb., Bosc or Forelle pears are good)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 quart premium vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan combine the chocolate, water, and 1/4 cup sugar. Melt chocolate over low heat, stirring slowly and constantly. Stir in pear liqueur or nectar. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Peel the pears, if desired; cut into quarters.* In a large skillet melt butter. Add pear quarters; cook over medium heat about 12 minutes or until browned and tender, turning once. Add the 2 tablespoons sugar stirring gently until sugar is dissolved and pears are glazed.
  • To assemble: Place scoops of ice cream in bottom of 8 individual bowls. Spoon two pear pieces and some sauce around ice cream in each bowl. Top with chocolate sauce. Makes 8 servings.
  • *Note: If using large pears, use only 2 pears and cut into fourths.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the sundae will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the ice cream is cold. Cold ice cream will help the chocolate harden and create a more satisfying sundae.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to sundae toppings, so have fun and experiment until you find a combination that you love.
  • Serve the sundaes immediately. Sundaes are best enjoyed when they are freshly made. The ice cream will start to melt and the chocolate will start to harden, so don't wait too long to eat them.
