Chocolate Heaven Pudding Recipes

HASTY CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.
• Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.

HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter the inside of a 1.2 litre pudding bowl and line the base with a disc of buttered greaseproof paper.
• Melt the butter, syrup and sugar in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and egg. Add the cocoa to the flour, then tip this mixture into the pan with the cinnamon and soda.
• Pour the mixture into the pudding bowl, cover tightly with foil and steam for 11⁄4 hours. Just before the end, heat the sauce ingredients until melted, stirring all the time.
• Turn the pudding out (run a knife around the inside of the bowl if necessary) and discard the paper disc. Pour the sauce over the top and serve immediately.

MINI WHITE CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIES (BITE-SIZED HEAVEN!)

Steps:

• Prepare the pudding mix according to box directions - use less milk for a thicker pudding. I used about 1 3/4 cup milk plus added 1 tsp vanilla. Mix all until it thickens, then place in fridge for later.
• Prepare ganache: In saucepan over medium to med-low heat, melt all chocolate with whipping cream, stirring constantly. After chocolate is fully melted you should have a smooth, shiny topping for your pudding. Place in fridge for later. TIP: I just used the white and dark chocolate because it is what I had on hand. Semi-sweet chips work the best, but you can use any combination of chocolates, adjusting cream if necessary.
• Prepare crust: Melt the butter in the microwave. Mix in with the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. You can always add more or less sugar to taste.
• I used a 24-cup mini muffin tin - pat the crust into the bottom and partially up the sides of each well. Bake at 300 degrees for 8 minutes, then cool.
• Place a large spoonful of white chocolate pudding in each mini crust (DON'T do this while crust is still hot!). Place a spoonful of ganache on top, and a spoonful of Cool Whip on top of that. I garnished with white chocolate chips.
• If there are leftovers, chill in fridge.

QUICK CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups milk,1/4 cup sugar, and salt to a boil over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk until smooth.
• In a steady stream, whisk cocoa-powder mixture into milk mixture in pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and returned to a boil, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. Stir to combine.
• Divide pudding among six custard cups or small bowls. Cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Serve puddings with a dollop of whipped cream.
