Chocolate Malted Icebox Pudding Recipes

CHOCOLATE MALTED PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend 1/2 cup of milk with the cornstarch.
• Combine the malted milk powder, cocoa and salt in a small heavy saucepan and slowly whisk in the remaining 3-1/2 cups of milk, the chocolate and the sugar. Heat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
• Cook, stirring frequently, over very low heat until very thick and just beginning to boil, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Let cool, stirring occasionally until the custard is just warm.
• Pour the pudding into small 1/2 c bowls.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set.
• You can make this up to 3 days in advance.

MALTED MILK CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Whisk the milk, 1/3 cup malted milk powder and the cornstarch in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes (the mixture will look like heavy cream). Remove from the heat and whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg, then whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk in the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes (the whisk should leave a thick trail when dragged). Remove from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
• Divide the pudding among 4 ramekins or small bowls. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of each and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Whisk the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon malted milk powder in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Top the pudding with the whipped cream and malted milk balls.

MALTED CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together both flours, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl whisk 1/2 cup of the malt powder with the milk, egg white, butter, and vanilla until the malt dissolves. Stir into the dry ingredients until only a few small lumps remain and spread the batter in the prepared baking dish.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa and sprinkle over the batter. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup malt powder into the boiling water and pour it over the batter. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack. If desired, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar and immediately spoon the warm cake and sauce onto plates or shallow bowls.

CHOCOLATE MALTED ICEBOX PUDDING

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into crumbs (you should have about 1 cup). Transfer to a bowl. Using the large holes of a grater, grate the chocolate. Add to the bread crumbs and set aside.
• In a large mixer bowl, beat 2 1/2 cups of the cream, the malted-milk powder, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until stiff. With a large rubber spatula, fold half the bread crumbs and chocolate into the whipped cream just until blended. Repeat with the remaining bread crumbs and chocolate.
• Spoon the pudding into a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish or serving bowl; smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Just before serving, beat the remaining 1/2 cup cream until stiff and decoratively spread over the top of the pudding.
