Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Pudding Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt butter and whisk in cornstarch: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Once melted, add the cornstarch and whisk thoroughly until fully combined. Let this mixture cook for about 1 minute to thicken slightly.
  2. Whisk in cream and sugar: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir constantly while slowly increasing the heat to medium-high to avoid lumps and ensure the mixture heats evenly.
  3. Heat until thickened and simmering: Continue stirring as the mixture thickens. Once it begins to simmer gently, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent curdling or burning.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot mixture and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour and chill: Pour the pudding into serving glasses or a bowl. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely cooled and set.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, serve the pudding as is or topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or your favorite garnish for a decadent homemade dessert.

Notes

  • Stir constantly when heating to prevent lumps and burning.
  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Make sure to cook cornstarch with butter for 1 minute to avoid a raw taste.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour for proper setting; pudding thickens as it cools.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
