HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH ESPRESSO WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• To make the pudding: Whisk cornstarch, sugar, and salt together in a medium saucepan.
• Pour 1 cup milk slowly into the dry ingredients while you quickly whisk everything together to avoid creating any lumps, then gradually whisk in the remaining milk. Heat the milk over medium, stirring occasionally, until the milk begins to simmer and then stir constantly with a rubber spatula. When the milk thickens and just coats the spatula, take the pan off the heat. Quickly stir in the chocolate and mix until melted and thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• At this point, you can push the pudding through a strainer if you wish to remove lumps. Divide the pudding evenly between small bowls or one large bowl for community serving. If you are a stickler about a skin on pudding, press some plastic wrap against the pudding and wrap the bowl(s). I didn't find that this pudding had much of a skin so I didn't miss not wrapping them up first. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
• To make the espresso whipped cream: Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 30 minutes. Combine the cream, espresso powder, and vanilla in the cold bowl and beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then gradually increase the speed up to high, continuing to beat for another 30 seconds. Stir in the powdered sugar and then continue to beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pudding.
