Heaven In A Bowl
This decadent creamy chocolate pudding—Heaven In A Bowl—is a quick and indulgent sweet treat with a silky texture and rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream for ultimate creaminess
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed if available)
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate chips (e.g., Ghirardelli)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 large egg yolks room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Optional garnishes whipped cream, shaved chocolate, fresh berries
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Warm heavy cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until small bubbles form at the edges.
- Slowly whisk about one third of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, then transfer back to the pan, whisking constantly.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 2–3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in chocolate chips, let sit 1 minute, then whisk until fully melted and glossy.
- Stir in vanilla extract and taste; add more chocolate or a dash of espresso powder for extra depth if desired.
- Divide pudding into four bowls or jars, cover with plastic wrap on the surface, and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or berries before serving for a pretty presentation and extra flavor.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor; leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
