Maple Chocolate Pudding Recipes

MAPLE PUDDING WITH BOURBON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium pot set over medium-low heat combine the milk, maple syrup, cream, salt, vanilla bean and seeds. Give it a good stir and heat until it just starts to bubble.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch, and mix together with a fork. Slowly sprinkle the cornstarch mixture into the heated cream while constantly whisking.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them. Whisk the egg mixture into the hot milk. While continuously stirring, cook on low heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of thick pancake batter, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the heat off, and slowly whisk in the butter. Remove the vanilla pod.
• Transfer the pudding to a clean bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding (this eliminates a film forming on the pudding). Cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Spoon the pudding into serving cups and top with some Bourbon Whipped Cream, then serve.
• In a large, chilled metal bowl combine the cream and sugar. Using a hand mixer fitted with a whisk, whip until soft peaks form. Pour in the bourbon and continue to whip until the cream is stiff, but not over-whipped.

MAPLE SYRUP PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat together sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft and creamy, at least 10 minutes.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the maple syrup and milk. Just mix enough to moisten. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. The maple syrup will sink to the bottom, and the top should be lightly browned. Serve warm.

THE REAL NO-GUILT CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt in the work bowl of a food processor, and blend until smooth and creamy. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to make the pudding the desired consistency. Eat right away, or chill and serve cold.

CREAMY MAPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes into the prepared pan. Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, syrup, sugar, flavoring, nutmeg, and salt together. Pour over the bread cubes and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the liquid. Press the cubes down into the liquid if the edges are dry.
• Bake the pudding for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the nuts and sugar. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the pudding has puffed up and is light brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes-the pudding will sink as it sits; that's OK. Serve immediately, or reheat before serving.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Spoon into individual serving dishes. Chill until serving. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and M&M's.

MAPLE TOFU PUDDING

Steps:

• Drain the tofu and cut it into small pieces.
• Place the pieces in a blender.
• Add the oil, maple syrup, salt and vanilla. Put the lid on the blender.
• Process the mixture for a minute or two, or until the pudding is quite smooth.
• If necessary, turn off the blender, and scrape down the sides of the blender jar.
• Then put the lid back on and process some more.
• When the mixture is smooth, turn it into 4 small, resealable, half-cup containers.
• Chill until serving time, or serve right away if desired.
• If you like, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of finely chopped walnuts on top of each serving of pudding.
• I prefer black walnuts, but any type will do.

MAPLE SYRUP PUDDING

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk the milk, pudding mix and syrup until combined. Cover and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil, stirring every 2 minutes. Pour into dessert dishes; cool slightly. Garnish with whipped topping if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
