Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large egg
1 3/4 cups 2% milk
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon chocolate malted milk powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
Chopped malted milk balls, for topping

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, 1/3 cup malted milk powder and the cornstarch in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes (the mixture will look like heavy cream). Remove from the heat and whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg, then whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk in the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes (the whisk should leave a thick trail when dragged). Remove from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
  • Divide the pudding among 4 ramekins or small bowls. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of each and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Whisk the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon malted milk powder in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Top the pudding with the whipped cream and malted milk balls.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder, plus 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup chocolate malt powder, such as Ovaltine

1 1/2 cups boiling water
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together both flours, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl whisk 1/2 cup of the malt powder with the milk, egg white, butter, and vanilla until the malt dissolves. Stir into the dry ingredients until only a few small lumps remain and spread the batter in the prepared baking dish.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa and sprinkle over the batter. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup malt powder into the boiling water and pour it over the batter. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack. If desired, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar and immediately spoon the warm cake and sauce onto plates or shallow bowls.

CHOCOLATE BANANA ICEBOX CAKE



Chocolate Banana Icebox Cake image

Banana pudding with a twist, this icebox cake embraces chocolate wafers instead of the classic vanilla. After a bit of time in the fridge, the cookies soften into thin layers of chocolate cake. Add some mini chocolate chips to the vanilla custard, if you like, but be sure to cover the bananas completely to keep them from oxidizing. This pudding is best the day it's made, or up to 24 hours later - but it's so delicious that it may not last that long.

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/30 grams cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups/710 milliliters whole milk
6 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup/175 milliliters cold heavy cream
45 thin, round chocolate wafers (from 1 9-ounce/255-gram package)
4 large ripe bananas
1 1/2 cups/355 milliliters cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl, and set it aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the milk, little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and just come to a low boil, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook the custard while whisking for another minute, then immediately pour it into the sieve, pushing it through with a small spatula. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Chill the custard until it reaches room temperature or colder, about 1 1/2 hours. (To speed the process, you can spread the custard into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir often until the custard has cooled, about 10 minutes. Transfer the custard back to the medium bowl.)
  • Whip the 3/4 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the custard.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of custard to the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish, spreading it in an even layer. Top with a layer of cookies (about 15), breaking them as needed to fit the edges. Slice the bananas 1/4-inch thick, and top the cookies with a layer of bananas.
  • Dollop 1/3 of the remaining custard on top of the bananas and, using an offset spatula, gently spread it into an even layer until the bananas are completely covered. Repeat the layering of cookies, bananas and custard two more times, finishing with custard.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill until the custard is cold and the cookies have softened, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • To serve, whip the 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Top the pudding with the whipped cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder, dusting it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve cold.

This is the first recipe I've tried out of my new cookbook, A New Way To Cook. It turned out great. I loved chocolate malt balls and the malted flavor in general. The malted milk powder also helps to keep the creamy texture even though you are using 1% lowfat milk.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING ICEBOX CAKE



Chocolate Pudding Icebox Cake image

Enjoy rich chocolate pudding in this easy-to-make icebox cake from John Barricelli's "SoNo Baking Company Cookbook."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 3/4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and scraped, or 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
8 large egg yolks
1/3 cup Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder
4 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
15 whole rectangular graham crackers
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups milk, half-and-half, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and vanilla bean and seeds, if using. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, in a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Whisking constantly, gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Set a fine-mesh sieve over saucepan and strain custard mixture back into saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking, until mixture thickens to a puddinglike consistency, about 10 seconds. Remove vanilla bean, if using, and discard.
  • Transfer custard mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add chocolate and beat on medium speed until chocolate is melted and mixture has cooled slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract, if using. Beat in butter, a little at a time, and continue beating until chocolate is entirely melted and mixture is cool, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Layer the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking dish with 1/3 of the graham crackers, breaking up crackers as needed to create a snug, even layer. Spoon 1/3 of the pudding mixture on top; smooth top. Repeat process twice using remaining graham crackers and pudding, to create a total of 3 layers of each. Transfer to refrigerator; refrigerate until chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form. Spread whipped cream over chilled cake and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your pudding. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the pudding. Overmixing can make the pudding tough and grainy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the pudding before serving. This will help it to set and firm up. You can chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate chips, and nuts.

Conclusion:

Chocolate malted icebox pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for generations.
