Chocolate Oat Pudding Recipes

CHOCOLATE OAT PUDDING

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend for one minute. I like to gradually work my way up to high during the first 30 seconds of the blend, then continue on high for another 30 seconds.
• Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan. Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken (about 2 minutes). Continue to heat the pudding over medium heat for 3 more minutes, whisking constantly.
• The pudding will be thick enough to eat right away, but you can refrigerate it for about an hour to enjoy a chilled pudding. The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.

DARK CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. In a medium saucepan, bring the cream and milk to a bare simmer. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, salt and egg yolks.
• Slowly pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper it, whisking all the while. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour in the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth.
• Pour into glasses or custard cups. Refrigerate until chilled and set, about 3 hours. Serve with whipped sour cream, if desired.

CHOCOLATE OAT BARS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Set aside., In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips and remaining butter and salt. Cook and stir until smooth. Add the nuts and remaining vanilla. Press 4 cups oat mixture into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan; spread with chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture., Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

OAT MILK CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Slowly stir in the milk and keep stirring until smooth and combined.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium-low heat, scraping the bottom, sides and corners of the pan, until the pudding thickens, begins to bubble, and coats the back of the spoon or spatula, 5 to 10 minutes. (If the pudding is coating the bottom of the pan too quickly, reduce the heat.)
• Add the chocolate and stir vigorously until the pudding is very thick and smooth, about 30 seconds longer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Spoon the pudding into a serving bowl or individual cups or ramekins. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled (see Tip 2). It will thicken as it cools.

CHOCOLATE OAT MILK BUDINO WITH BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the oat milk, cocoa powder, vanilla paste, salt and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Place over medium-low heat and bring just to a simmer, whisking occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, whole egg, cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar. Whisk until thick and pale yellow in color.
• When the oat milk mixture comes to a simmer, temper the eggs by slowly ladling half of the hot oat milk mixture into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining oat milk mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to boil the custard mixture.
• Place the melted chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Once the custard is thickened, strain in a fine-mesh strainer, over the melted chocolate. Whisk to combine.
• Evenly divide the budino among six 6-ounce jars or glasses. Wrap the glasses with cling film and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving, combine the strawberries with the balsamic vinegar and remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Stir to combine and set aside at room temperature.
• When ready to serve, top each budino with the strawberries and a sprinkle of granola.
