Chocolate Malted Icebox Pudding Recipes

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.

DARK CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH MALTED CREAM

Steps:

• Butter three ramekins, dust with cocoa and set aside. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then whisk in the chocolate mixture with the malt powder and a pinch of salt. Divide the mixture between the ramekins and bake for 14 mins until they are just cooked with a slight wobble in the middle to make a fondant, or 18 mins for a pudding. Remove from the oven, turn out and serve warm now, or leave to cool in their ramekins.
• Whisk the cream, sugar and malt powder together to soft peaks. Carefully turn the puddings out onto plates, then pile on the Maltesers, cherries and pistachios, and serve with the malted cream.

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.

CHOCOLATE BANANA ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl, and set it aside.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the milk, little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and just come to a low boil, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue to cook the custard while whisking for another minute, then immediately pour it into the sieve, pushing it through with a small spatula. Stir in the vanilla.
• Chill the custard until it reaches room temperature or colder, about 1 1/2 hours. (To speed the process, you can spread the custard into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir often until the custard has cooled, about 10 minutes. Transfer the custard back to the medium bowl.)
• Whip the 3/4 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the cream into the custard.
• Add about 1/2 cup of custard to the bottom of a 2-quart serving dish, spreading it in an even layer. Top with a layer of cookies (about 15), breaking them as needed to fit the edges. Slice the bananas 1/4-inch thick, and top the cookies with a layer of bananas.
• Dollop 1/3 of the remaining custard on top of the bananas and, using an offset spatula, gently spread it into an even layer until the bananas are completely covered. Repeat the layering of cookies, bananas and custard two more times, finishing with custard.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill until the custard is cold and the cookies have softened, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To serve, whip the 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Top the pudding with the whipped cream, and sprinkle with cocoa powder, dusting it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve cold.

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.

CHOCOLATE MALTED BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the bread cubes in two 8-oz. ramekins coated with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with malted milk balls, chocolate chips and almonds. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the milk, cream cheese, egg and malted milk powder; cover and process until smooth. Pour over bread cube mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until mixture reaches 160°. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dollop with whipped cream if desired.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups milk, half-and-half, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and vanilla bean and seeds, if using. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and remaining 3/4 cup milk. Whisking constantly, gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Set a fine-mesh sieve over saucepan and strain custard mixture back into saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking, until mixture thickens to a puddinglike consistency, about 10 seconds. Remove vanilla bean, if using, and discard.
• Transfer custard mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add chocolate and beat on medium speed until chocolate is melted and mixture has cooled slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract, if using. Beat in butter, a little at a time, and continue beating until chocolate is entirely melted and mixture is cool, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Layer the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking dish with 1/3 of the graham crackers, breaking up crackers as needed to create a snug, even layer. Spoon 1/3 of the pudding mixture on top; smooth top. Repeat process twice using remaining graham crackers and pudding, to create a total of 3 layers of each. Transfer to refrigerator; refrigerate until chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form. Spread whipped cream over chilled cake and serve.
