Instructions:
- Measure all your ingredients to ensure you have everything ready.
- Separate the egg yolks and set them aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the dry cocoa powder, corn flour, and sugar. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- Gradually whisk in the water until you have a smooth paste.
- Slowly add the milk while continuing to whisk to fully incorporate the mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Temper the Egg Yolks:
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.
- Slowly add a ladleful of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
- Once combined, quickly whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Continue to cook and stir the mixture over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes, until it thickens further.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and butter until both are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Once chilled, the pudding is ready to serve.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon on top of each serving for added flavor.
Tips:
- Sift the dry cocoa powder and corn flour to avoid any lumps in the pudding.
- Use a whisk to continuously stir the mixture to ensure it cooks evenly and prevents burning.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly, before fully incorporating them. This helps to prevent the yolks from curdling.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before adding the dark chocolate and butter. This will ensure a smooth and glossy finish.
- Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.
