Chocolate rum pudding (flambé) FAQ:
This recipe does not require baking; it involves cooking the pudding on the stovetop until it thickens. After that, it must be chilled for at least 2 hours before serving.
The pudding is ready when it thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. It should have a smooth, creamy texture. Avoid boiling, as this can affect the consistency.
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate for a slightly sweeter flavor. However, avoid using milk chocolate as it may affect the richness of the pudding.
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The rum sauce can be stored separately; reheat it gently before serving.
If the rum sauce doesn't ignite, ensure that the rum is at room temperature and has a high alcohol content. If it still doesn’t catch fire, you can carefully heat it in a pan (without the flames) and serve it warm over the pudding instead.
Cooking Tips:
- Chocolate: Use high-quality dark chocolate for richness.
- Texture: For extra smoothness, strain the pudding before chilling.
- Safety: Always flambé with caution - use a long lighter or match.
