Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
Start by chopping the dark chocolate roughly into small pieces. Place the whole milk in a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Once the milk is warm, add the chopped dark chocolate and stir occasionally until the chocolate melts completely into the milk. -
-
Combine with the Flour:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined. Gradually pour in the warm milk-chocolate mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once fully incorporated, transfer this mixture back to the saucepan and cook it over low heat, whisking continuously, until it thickens into a pudding-like consistency. -
Set the Pudding:
Pour the thickened chocolate pudding into a single large mold or individual serving cups, depending on your preference. Allow it to cool down to room temperature before transferring it to the fridge. Let the pudding chill for at least 2 hours, or until it becomes firm and sets properly. -
Whip the Cream:
While the pudding is cooling, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside in the fridge to keep it cool until it’s time to serve. -
Prepare the Strawberries:
Wash the fresh strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. These will be used to garnish the pudding. -
Assemble and Serve:
Once the pudding has set and is firm to the touch, carefully unmold it onto a serving platter. Decorate the top with generous dollops of whipped cream and arrange the sliced strawberries around the edges. For an extra touch, you can add some whole strawberries on top for a beautiful presentation.
