How to Make Rich Chocolate Pudding Surprise
- Whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of milk until a smooth paste forms.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of milk and whisk until completely combined. Cook over medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
- Continuously stir the pudding mixture as it heats. It will begin to thicken after a few minutes.
- If the bottom starts to scorch before the top thickens, reduce the heat to low.
- Temper the egg: Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of the hot pudding mixture into the beaten egg. Then pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
- Stir constantly until the pudding reaches your desired thickness (about 2-3 minutes after adding the egg).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder), and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
- Spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes. Place a small piece (about 1 ounce) of high-quality dark chocolate in the center of each serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
