Creamy Chocolate Pudding Recipe - Quick and Easy Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large egg yolks

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.

    Make sure there are no lumps in the cocoa powder.
  2. Heat Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer.

    Do not let it boil, just simmer gently.
  3. Whisk in Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.

    This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Combine and Thicken

    Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring, until the pudding thickens.

    This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    Top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for extra flair.
