Scott’s Ultimate Chocolate Pudding
Serves 3-4 | Cook and prep time: 25-30 minutes cooking time; 2-12 hours of refrigeration
Give this pudding a try when you’re looking for a dessert that’s out of the ordinary! Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups + 2 tbsp. milk
5.5 oz. chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
A pinch of salt
Cocoa powder for garnish
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. Grand Marnier, Triple Sec or your favorite liqueur
DIRECTIONS:
Melt butter, sugar and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.
Add chopped dark chocolate. Add Grand Marnier or Triple Sec or your favorite liqueur.
Sift in the cornstarch until it reaches a smooth, pasty consistency. Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking to create a smooth mixture. Cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Pour the pudding into slightly oiled individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool at room temperature for a bit before refrigerating.
Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until it’s completely chilled and set.
Once the pudding is chilled, you can serve it as is or with a topping of your choice. Cocoa powder, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries are great options.
