Chocolate Pudding With Whipped Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a medium pan. Whisk in milk and yolks. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and butter; whisk until melted.
• Pour pudding through a sieve into a heatproof bowl set in an ice-water bath. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold and set, about 40 minutes (up to 2 days).
• Whip cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Divide cold pudding among 4 bowls, and serve with whipped cream.

WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SHAVINGS

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks and whisk the mixture until combined. Whisk in the milk, bring the liquid to a boil over moderate heat. Continue to simmer and whisk until thickened-about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Divide the pudding among 4 stemmed glasses and garnish with the whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serve garnished or accompanied by cookies.

INSTANT PUDDING WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Chill mixing bowl (metal) and beater(s).
• Whip the cream for a few minutes
• and then add your instant pudding.
• Watch as you continue whipping it as it gets firm fast.
• If it gets firm to fast, add a little milk to bring it to your desired consistency.
• To make larger or smaller batches use an amount of whipping cream equal to the amount of milk called for on the pudding box.

SALTED CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Make the pudding: Place chocolate in a large bowl; set aside.
• Heat heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder and 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar in a medium pot over medium-high, whisking constantly until the mixture comes to a bare simmer, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar, the egg yolks, the cornstarch, the salt and the vanilla, if using, until the mixture is lump-free and pale in color. Ladle a bit of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks and whisk until completely blended, adding a bit more at a time until half the cream mixture is added. Transfer the yolk-cream mixture back into the pot with the remaining cream mixture.
• Return the pot to medium heat and, whisking constantly, cook until the mixture has gone from thin and watery to thick and custardy, with the occasional bubble popping up, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Immediately pour the mixture over the chocolate, and let sit for a minute or two, giving the bowl a shake to help the chocolate settle as it melts. Using a whisk, mix the chocolate into the cream as it melts, until you have an ultrasmooth, silky pudding. Transfer to a flat baking dish (an 8-by-8-inch pan works well) and cover the top of the pudding with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until pudding is completely set, at least 3 hours and up to 48 hours.
• Assemble and serve: Using either an electric mixer on medium or a whisk and elbow grease, whisk heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. (The cream should hold a gentle peak.) Whisk in sour cream.
• To serve, spoon a bit of chocolate pudding into a serving vessel. This can be done in individual bowls, glasses, cups or coupes, or alternatively, one large bowl or baking dish - the choice is yours. Then spoon in an equal amount of whipped sour cream, and scatter with crumbled cookies. Repeat until the vessel is full, topping with flaky salt.
• Eat immediately, so the cookies stay crunchy, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE PUDDINO

Steps:

• Combine chocolate chips, salt, and cayenne in a heat-proof measuring cup; set aside.
• Separate eggs by cracking one egg into your hand over a bowl. Open your fingers slightly and gently jiggle your hand until the egg white falls into the bowl below. Transfer the yolk to a skillet. Repeat with remaining eggs. Reserve egg whites for another use.
• Add sugar, milk, and cream to egg yolks. Whisk thoroughly, breaking egg yolks first, until well combined.
• Place skillet on the stove over medium or medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spoon, until very hot and thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 175 degrees F (79 degrees C). Remove from the heat.
• Set a fine sieve over the bowl of reserved chocolate. Strain the custard sauce into the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until chocolate has melted and custard sauce is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and butter; stir until butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Pour warm custard sauce into 6 serving glasses. Tilt each glass and rotate it around so the warm chocolate coats another 1/2 inch of the glass. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, at least 3 to 4 hours.
• Combine cream and vanilla extract for topping in a metal bowl and whisk until thickened; make sure no peaks form. Spoon cream into the glasses, then tilt and twirl to coat the sides a bit.
• Garnish with shaved chocolate and serve.
