Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the chocolates. Set aside.
  2.  In a medium mixing bowl combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Slowly add the milk and then the cream.  Stir until smooth.  
  3. Pour into a saucepan.  Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking continuously until thickened.
  4. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Immediately remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.  Combine the mixture into the bowl with the chocolate, stirring to melt the chocolate.  
  5. Allow mixture to cool. Divide mixture between 6 to 8 small bowls or cups.  
  6. Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the pudding, to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to prevent scorching at higher temperatures.
  • Whisk consistently. The pudding may burn if you don't whisk the pudding enough while adding the milk. This also gives the pudding a thick, creamy texture.
  • Chill before serving. The pudding needs time to set so give it at least an hour.
  • Stir before serving to make sure its nice and creamy. I highly recommend serving with whipped cream on top.
  • For more intense flavor, add more cocoa powder.
  • For less sweetness, use more bittersweet dark chocolate and less white chocolate.
  • Stir in the vanilla quickly so its mixed evenly into the mixture before it cools so it can better enhance the chocolate flavor and add a subtle extra layer of sweetness.
  • To prevent a thin skin layer from forming on top of each of your pudding cups inside the fridge, press down a piece of plastic wrap over each cup before cooling them in the refrigerator.
