Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
12 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling-hot water
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup heavy cream
Candied orange peel, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk the yolks and sugar in a large heatproof bowl until pale and creamy, about 1 minute. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water; whisk until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F and the mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in the cocoa, cheese, espresso, vanilla, and salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
  • Beat the cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Top each serving of pudding with whipped cream. Garnish with candied orange peel, if desired.
