Provided by Kelly Fields

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup pecans
1½ cups heavy cream
1½ cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces chopped chocolate (at least 70% cacao)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Whisk in sugar. Add pecans; toss until coated. Spread out on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing every 10 minutes, until browned and dry, 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Bring cream, milk, butter, and vanilla to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl to combine.
  • As soon as cream mixture reaches a simmer, remove from heat and, whisking constantly, very gradually add one-third of cream mixture to egg mixture. Whisk tempered egg mixture into cream mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate; whisk until chocolate is melted and pudding is smooth. Serve topped with candied pecans.
  • Pecans can be candied 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature. Pudding can be made 2 days ahead. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface and chill. Reheat gently in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water before serving.
  • Note: This recipe has been edited to reduce the amount of salt called for when originally published.
