How to Make Decadent Chocolate Frangelico Pudding

  1. In a large metal or glass bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Whisk constantly over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, and ¼ cup Frangelico liqueur until smooth and well combined.
  4. Continue whisking for 2 more minutes until the mixture thickens slightly more.
  5. Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps (optional, but recommended for extra smoothness).
  6. Pour the mixture into small teacups or large espresso cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely.
  7. Before serving, top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream (approximately 2 tablespoons per serving), a sprinkle of chopped nuts (about 1 tablespoon per serving), and enjoy!
  8. Make-ahead tip: This pudding can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld and saving you time on the day of your celebration.
