Ingredients
Scale
Liquids:
- 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (16 g) cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
Chocolate and Eggs:
- ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 egg yolks
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps and create a smooth base.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, continuously stirring the mixture to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution.
- Maintain a steady whisking motion as the liquid gradually warms, watching carefully to prevent boiling and preserve the delicate texture.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, developing a velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, incorporating Baileys Irish Cream to infuse a rich, spirited flavor into the chocolate pudding.
- Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes, using a spatula to capture every last creamy drop.
- Cover the surface of each pudding directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming during cooling.
- Refrigerate the puddings for at least two hours, allowing them to set completely and develop a deep, luxurious chocolate flavor.
- Before serving, garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the decadent dessert.
Notes
- Customize the richness by adjusting the ratio of milk to heavy cream, creating a lighter or more indulgent pudding texture.
- Enhance the Baileys flavor by adding an extra splash just before chilling, intensifying the Irish cream essence.
- Prevent lumps by sifting cocoa powder and cornstarch together before whisking into the liquid, ensuring a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Experiment with dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk or almond milk for a lactose-free version that maintains the luxurious chocolate and Baileys profile.
