Today is chocolate pudding day, and we think that's the perfect perfect excuse to tuck in to your favourite chocolate pudding, whether its a chocolate cheesecake, a simple chocolate cake, or an enormous gateaux.
We love baking in our onesies. so what better way to spend Chocolate pudding day other than baking a yummy chocolate pud in our onesies? Here's one of our favourite chocolate pudding recipes by Nigella Lawson.
Ingredients
- 250 ml full fat milk
- 125 ml double cream
- 60 grams caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 35 grams cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons boiling water (from recently boiled kettle)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 grams dark chocolate (finely chopped)
Method
- Put the kettle on, and warm the milk and cream together in a saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave.
- Put the sugar and cornflour into another saucepan and sieve in the cocoa powder. Add the 2 tablespoons of boiling water and whisk to a paste.
- Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, followed by the warmed milk and cream, then the vanilla extract.
- Scrape down the sides of the pan and put it on a lowish heat, cooking and whisking for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens to a mayonnaise-like consistency.
- Take off the heat and whisk in the finely chopped chocolate, before pouring into 4 small cups or glasses, each with a capacity of about 150ml / two-thirds of a cup.
- Cover the tops of the cups or glasses with clingfilm, letting the clingfilm rest on the chocolate surface, to stop a skin forming, and refrigerate once they are cooler. Make sure they are not still fridge-cold when you serve them. You can add a blob of cream on top if you like.
