MOM'S CHOCOLATE PUDDING



Mom's Chocolate Pudding image

My mom came to the United States from Colombia when she was 16 years old. She married at 17, had her first child by 18 and quickly needed to find her way in the kitchen. New American convenience foods were a novelty to her, and we were occasionally treated to pudding from the store. My brother loved chocolate pudding so much that, once my mom became more fluent in the kitchen, she decided to try making it from scratch. Chocolate pudding became one of our favorite childhood treats, and it's still one that makes me remember my mom and all the fun and nostalgia of my childhood in the 1960s and '70s. - Claudia Sidoti, Manager, Test Kitchen

Time 4h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, plus more for garnish, optional
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk the milk, granulated sugar, cocoa and cornstarch constantly in a nonreactive medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the cocoa has fully dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a light gravy, 6 to 7 minutes more. Stir in the chopped chocolate, vanilla and a pinch of salt and continue to cook, whisking, until the chocolate has melted and the pudding is thick and creamy, about 2 minutes more. Remove the pudding from the heat, add the butter and stir until the butter has melted.
  • Divide the pudding evenly into six 6- to 8-ounce ramekins or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight until cold and fully set.
  • Before serving, pour the cream and confectioners' sugar into a chilled medium bowl. Whip the cream with a whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Top each pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and chopped-chocolate garnish if using.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup hot chocolate or cocoa mix, plus more for sprinkling
1/3 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt
5 large egg yolks, beaten
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, hot chocolate mix, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
  • Slowly add half of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth. Gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Let the pudding cool slightly, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until it has completely cooled and thickened, about 4 hours.
  • Before serving, whisk the pudding vigorously until it's smooth and creamy. Spoon it into serving bowls and top with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkling of hot chocolate mix.
