Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 teaspoon of espresso coffee.
- Measure 1/3 cup of brown sugar.
- Break or chop dark chocolate into small pieces for easier melting.
- Place the dark chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler method: set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave: heat in small, 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted.
- In a small bowl, mix together the espresso coffee and brown sugar until the sugar starts to dissolve.
- Pour the coffee and sugar mixture into the bowl with the melted chocolate.
- Stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Prepare mini pudding molds or small ramekins by lightly greasing them or lining with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Evenly distribute the chocolate mixture into the molds.
- Place the molds in the refrigerator and allow the puddings to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Once set, remove the puddings from the molds.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or a few espresso beans for decoration.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the flavor of the puddings.
- Make espresso coffee fresh and preferably use a strong blend to complement the chocolate.
- Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the mixture to balance the sweetness and deepen the flavor profile.
- Allow the puddings to cool completely before serving to achieve the best texture.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
