Best Creamy Chocolate Pudding


Do you like chocolate, really do ? 
This is a recipe you have to try... 
It's the best chocolate cream I've ever tasted ! 
This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated, they really do have great recipes.

  Preparation    15 minutes top, so quick and easy !

  Tasting    So onctuous and creamy and... perfect, but if you prefer milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate, this recipe is not for you !

  To conclude    I did it 3 times in a row... loved it too much !


Serves 6 to 8

1/2 cup white sugar
2tbsp cornstarch

4tbsp unsalted butter (1.8oz/50gr)
1cup bittersweet chocolate ~80% cocoa (3.9oz/110gr)

In a small bowl, mix vanilla and coffee. Set aside.
Prepare together butter and chocolate in morsels. Set aside.

In a saucepan, stir in sugar, cocoa salt and cornstarch, mix.

Whisk in the yolks and the cream until homogeneous
Whisk in the milk until fully integrated.


Bring slowly to a boil at low heat, whisking slowly. It takes 7 to 8 minutes.
When all the surface is simmering/boiling. Count down 30 secondes while whisking.
