How to Make Black Bottom Caramel Pudding

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, cook 1 cup granulated sugar over medium heat, without stirring, until it melts into a deep amber caramel. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Carefully whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream (it will bubble up!).
  3. Reduce heat to low and whisk until smooth and combined. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup of the 3 cups whole milk until smooth.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Add the remaining 2 1/2 cups whole milk to the caramel sauce and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture, then continue whisking until the pudding thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Temper the eggs: Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot caramel mixture into the egg mixture to temper it. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  10. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining caramel mixture and whisk constantly for 1 minute off the heat until smooth.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of the hot caramel pudding into the 6 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate until smooth and melted.
  12. Spoon the chocolate pudding into 6 parfait glasses or serving dishes.
  13. Top with the remaining caramel pudding.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
  15. Enjoy your delicious Black Bottom Caramel Pudding!
