Ingredients
- 500 ml milk 2 cups, whole and fresh
- 150 g chocolate ~5 oz, dark (between 65 % and 70 % cocoa)
- 100 g granulated sugar ½ cup
- 80 g butter ⅔ stick, unsulted
- 50 g flour 5 tablespoons
Instructions
- To make budino al cioccolato recipe, start melting in a small saucepan the unsulted butter. Melt it over low heat.
- Add the granulated sugar and melt it always over low heat, stirring with a whisk.
- Cut the dark chocolate into small pieces.
- Once the sugar is well blended with the butter, add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir with a whisk, always heat to low.
- When the chocolate is melted, add, a little at a time, the flour. Stir all the time, combining all the ingredients.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk (without boiling it). Then slowly pour it while still hot into the chocolate cream.
- Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. Then let it simmer for about 5 more minutes, always stirring. The mixture should be creamy and free of lumps.
- Remove from heat as soon as it begins to thicken. Then pour into in a budino mold of about 18 cm (7 inch ) in diameter or in 4 single portion molds..
- Finally tap the mold on a surface to remove any air bubbles. Leave it about 30 minutes to cool at room temperature.
- Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. As it cools, the chocolate budino will thicken completely.
- Once firm and cooled, unmold the budino al cioccolato onto a serving plate. If you like, you can decorate it to your liking and according to your imagination. Here is your Italian chocolate pudding!
