Instructions
-
Separate the Eggs: Begin by carefully separating the egg yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside, as they are not needed for this recipe.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large saucepan, add the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, corn flour, and egg yolks. Using a whisk, thoroughly combine all the ingredients until smooth and free of lumps.
-
Cook the Pudding: Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously to ensure that the mixture does not stick to the bottom. Bring it to a brisk boil while stirring to avoid any lumps from forming. Continue cooking until the pudding thickens and becomes glossy.
-
Add Vanilla: Once the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor and give the pudding a wonderful aromatic finish.
-
Chill and Set: Pour the pudding into 4 individual serving bowls, smoothing the tops with a spoon. Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for a bit, then transfer to the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
-
Serve: Garnish with chocolate shavings just before serving to add an extra touch of elegance. Enjoy the smooth, chocolatey goodness of your homemade Quick Chocolate Pudding.
Serving Suggestions
For the perfect meal pairing, serve this pudding as a sweet ending after a savory spread of Cheese Garlic Bread, a delicious Whole Wheat Crust Pizza with Zucchini and Basil Sauce, and a refreshing Cinnamon Spiced Orange Iced Tea. This dessert is ideal for any occasion where you want to make the evening even more special!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, swap out the milk for almond or coconut milk.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the richness of the chocolate flavor.
- If you want to take it up a notch, top the pudding with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
