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.

Homemade Chocolate Pudding is a classic, creamy dessert that's surprisingly easy to make...and after trying this silky, decadent chocolate pudding recipe, you'll never want store-bought again!

Provided by Samantha Skaggs

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup good-quality cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole milk (DIVIDED)
4 teaspoons cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Fresh whipped cream & chocolate shavings

Steps:

  • Sift the cocoa powder into a medium saucepan and stir in the sugar. Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk until the mixture is smooth. Set on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt until smooth and well-combined. Continue to whisk rapidly while very slowly pouring the hot milk/cocoa powder mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Transfer the entire mixture back to the saucepan and set pot over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and continue whisking until pudding is thick, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and mix in melted chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
  • Strain pudding through a fine mesh sieve and divide between four (4-ounce) cups or small bowls. Cover each pudding with plastic wrap, ensuring that the plastic is touching the entire surface with no air bubbles (to prevent a skin from forming). Chill until set, for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Garnish chilled pudding with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Store any leftovers in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to four days.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. It should be thick and creamy, but not rubbery.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of espresso powder or instant coffee to the pudding.
  • For a lighter flavor, you can use milk instead of heavy cream.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be sure to whisk the pudding constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from curdling.
  • Serve the pudding immediately, or chill it for later.
