Ingredients
- ¼ cup
Sugar - 3 tbsp
Cornstarch - ¼ tsp
Salt - 2 cups
Whole milk - 3 large
Egg yolks - 1
Dark chocolate candy bar, chopped - ½ tsp
Vanilla extract Whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, whisking constantly.
- Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Then, reduce heat to low and stir in the dark chocolate until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cool for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Finally, transfer it to a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding. Do refrigerate it until it's cold. If you desire, you can serve it with whipped cream.
Notes:
- The plastic wrap should touch the entire surface of the pudding to prevent skin from forming.
