Easy Chocolate Pudding for Two
Description
Easy Chocolate Pudding for Two is a classic stovetop dessert made by whisking sugar, cornstarch, and salt with milk, then gently heating this mixture until it thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Chocolate is stirred in until fully melted, and vanilla extract adds subtle flavor. Straining the pudding ensures any lumps are removed, resulting in a silky consistency.
After cooling at room temperature, the pudding is refrigerated for two to three hours to set firmly. This dessert delivers a rich chocolate taste with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel, ideal for a small portion without excess leftovers.
Finished pudding can be served topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for added texture and appearance, enhancing the overall experience.
Ingredients
Special Equipment
- Fine-mesh strainer
Chocolate Pudding for Two
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50g
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch 15g
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole preferred, but any percentage is fine
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chopped (good-quality chocolate chips are fine, 3oz
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped Cream optional
- chocolate optional, shavings
Instructions
- In a 2-quart (small) saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in milk, whisking out any lumps as they form.
- Heat over medium-low heat, whisking every other minute or so, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 12 minutes. If the mixture begins to simmer before thickened, turn down the heat slightly.
- Add chocolate and whisk until completely incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla.
- Strain pudding through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps. Pour into individual serving cups or single container and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap--if you are worried about pudding skin, place wrap directly on pudding surface--and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, until set.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired and enjoy!
