How to Make Tartine Bakerys Chocolate Pudding

  1. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large heat-proof bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just simmering (small bubbles around the edges). Do not boil.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Sift in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until thoroughly combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and frothy.
  7. Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. This tempers the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.
  8. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
  9. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly and vigorously, until the mixture thickens significantly and registers 208°F (98°C) on a candy thermometer (about 5-7 minutes).
  10. Immediately pour the hot pudding through the fine-mesh sieve into the prepared bowl. This removes any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  11. Add 8 ounces of finely chopped high-quality dark chocolate to the sieved pudding.
  12. Let the residual heat from the pudding melt the chocolate completely. Stir gently to combine.
  13. Using an immersion blender, blend the pudding for a full 5 minutes until completely smooth and glossy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed.
  14. Divide the pudding evenly among individual serving cups or ramekins.
  15. Let the pudding cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating. This allows for a smoother, more set pudding.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. Serve chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
