How to Make Steamed Chocolate Pudding Hard Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Hard Sauce:** In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg yolk. Set aside and chill until ready to serve.
  2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a heatproof bowl, melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. Whisk in 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. **Prepare the Pudding Mold:** Grease a 1.5-quart pudding mold or oven-safe bowl generously with butter.
  6. **Steam the Pudding:** Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared mold. Place the mold in a large casserole dish. Carefully pour enough boiling water into the casserole dish to come halfway up the sides of the mold.
  7. **Steam and Cool:** Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil or a lid. Steam over medium-low heat for 2 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Carefully remove the pudding from the water bath and let cool completely before unmolding.
  8. **Serve:** Unmold the pudding onto a serving plate and top generously with the chilled hard sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
