Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Small cubes of chocolate cake or chocolate cookies
2 tablespoons cacao rum liqueur, such as Cacao Prieto
5 tablespoons cocoa powder, such as Valrhona
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1 quart cold half-and-half
2 ounces chocolate, such as Valrhona Manjari
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 to 8 teaspoons crystallized candied violets
6 to 8 tablespoons soft whipped cream

Steps:

  • Place the cubes of chocolate cake or cookie crumbles in the bottom of six to eight 12-ounce champagne coupes or medium-size stemmed wine glasses. Brush with the cacao rum liqueur.
  • In a small saucepan, sift the cocoa powder, salt, sugar and cornstarch into the half-and-half and then begin to heat. Heat, stirring, until the mixture reaches 180 degrees F. Add the chocolate and vanilla extract and cook, stirring, for one full minute. Pass the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve and then pour directly into the champagne coupes. Place plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding and set aside to cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Finish with 1 teaspoon candied violets and 1 tablespoon soft whipped cream per serving.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate pudding, but this one was really good. The rum and violets added a nice touch.

I found the pudding to be a bit bland. I think it needed more rum.

This pudding is a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still enjoyable.

I didn't have any candied violets, so I used dried lavender instead. It was still delicious!
