How to Make Chocolate Truffle Pudding

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Heat over medium heat until warm (around 110-120°F), stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ cup cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients, ensuring no lumps form.
  4. Add 2 large eggs yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens considerably and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and pour the pudding into 6-8 individual dessert dishes or a large bowl.
  7. Let cool completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes), then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the pudding to set fully.
  8. Before serving, pipe sweetened whipped cream onto each serving (you can use about 1 cup heavy cream whipped with 2 tablespoons sugar).
  9. Garnish with freshly grated orange zest and a dusting of cocoa powder.
