Instructions
-
Heat the Milk
Start by pouring the milk into a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the milk to a simmer. Stir occasionally to avoid scalding. -
Blend the Ingredients
While the milk is heating, place the sugar, orange liqueur, eggs, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into a blender. Blend these ingredients for about 30 seconds, or until they form a smooth mixture. -
Combine Hot Milk with the Chocolate Mixture
Once the milk has reached a simmer (but not a full boil), gradually pour it into the blender with the sugar, egg, and chocolate mixture. Keep the blender running on low speed and continue to blend for about 1 minute. The hot milk will “cook” the eggs, making them safe to consume without requiring any additional heat. -
Pour into Serving Cups
Carefully pour the smooth, velvety chocolate mixture into individual serving cups, ramekins, or glasses. You can serve this pudding immediately, but for the best flavor and texture, it’s ideal to chill it for at least 1 hour or longer if preferred. -
Chill and Serve
Place the serving cups in the refrigerator and let the pudding chill. After about 1 hour, the pudding will firm up slightly, making it perfect for serving. Just before serving, top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a sprinkle of grated chocolate for added richness. -
Customize with Other Liqueurs
While this recipe uses an orange liqueur for a citrusy zing, feel free to get creative. Other flavored liqueurs such as hazelnut, amaretto, or coffee work beautifully in this pudding, offering unique and delicious twists on the original recipe.
Pro Tips
- Consistency Tip: The pudding may appear slightly runny right after blending, but don’t worry—once chilled, it will firm up to the perfect pudding-like consistency.
- Whipped Cream Variation: For an extra indulgent treat, try adding a dollop of chocolate whipped cream or a flavored whipped cream like vanilla or hazelnut to complement the chocolate orange flavor.
Enjoy this Chocolate Orange Truffle Pudding as a quick yet elegant dessert for any occasion. With its smooth, velvety texture and rich chocolate flavor, combined with the bright citrus notes of orange, it’s a dessert that will leave your guests wanting more.
