Time 2h10m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Salt
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon pure mint extract
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
10 chocolate wafer cookies
Garnish: mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Combine cream, milk, and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup.
  • Pour 1 cup cream mixture into sugar mixture, and whisk until cornstarch is dissolved. Add remaining cream mixture, and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add chocolate. Whisk until chocolate melts, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat. Add mint extract and butter, and whisk until butter melts. Quickly divide pudding, whisking as you work to prevent sides from setting up, among eight 4-ounce glasses or glass flowerpot votive candle holders, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each. Refrigerate until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Just before serving, pulse cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Top each pudding with 1 tablespoon ground-cookie "dirt," and garnish with a planted mint sprig. Serve chilled.

I don't have any individual pudding pots. Can I make these puddings in a regular baking dish?

I'm allergic to mint. Can I still make these puddings?

These puddings sound like a lot of work. I'm not sure if I have the time to make them.

These puddings were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar. Otherwise, they were perfect.

I'm not usually a fan of mint desserts, but these puddings changed my mind! The mint flavor was subtle and refreshing, and it paired perfectly with the rich chocolate. I also appreciated the easy-to-follow recipe.

These potted chocolate mint puddings were a delightful treat! The combination of chocolate and mint was perfect, and the texture was smooth and creamy. I loved the presentation in the individual pots, which made them feel extra special.
