Chocolate pudding - the easiest recipe for a delicious dessert 🍫

Kitchen appliances and utensils: stewpan, whisk, stove, 4 molds, refrigerator.

Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Chop dark chocolate (50 grams) into small crumbs.
   
2. Add sugar (80-100 grams) to the stewpan. Add corn starch (20 grams) and wheat flour (10 grams).
   
3. Pour in salt (1/4 teaspoon) and cocoa powder (30 grams).
   
4. With a whisk, thoroughly mix the dry ingredients so that there are no lumps left. Pour milk (500 ml) into the dry ingredients. You need to do this in small portions, each time rubbing the mass so that clots do not form. The mixture should be homogeneous.
   
5. Put the stewpan with the contents on the stove over medium heat and constantly mix the contents with a whisk, preventing the mass from sticking to the bottom.
   
6. When the first bubbles appear, reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened with vigorous stirring with a whisk. If you want to get a pudding of light cream texture, cook a little less, and if you want to get a more dense pudding, then cook a little longer. At the end of the indicated time, without ceasing to stir the mass with a whisk, pour the crushed dark chocolate and pour in the cream of fat (50 ml).
   
7. Stir in the added ingredients well, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the pudding for another 1-2 minutes with constant stirring. Stirring is very important, otherwise the pudding will burn. Remove the stewpan from the stove and pour the vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon) into the mass. Mix well with a whisk.
   
8. Continue to lightly stir the mixture so that it cools slightly. Pour the slightly cooled mixture into molds. This can be a bowl, wide short glasses, tea cups and more.
   
9. Leave the pudding to cool in molds to room temperature, and then refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours.
