(Crema di Cioccolato)
Category: Spoon Desserts
Cocoa, chocolate, and heavy cream make this dessert rich, creamy, and flavorful. Serve it in small portions topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet baking chocolate, chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 In a large bowl, sift together 1/3 cup of the sugar, the cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. Stir in 1/4 cup of the milk until smooth and well blended.
2 In a large saucepan, combine the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, 1 3/4 cups milk, and the heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer, about 3 minutes.
3 With a whisk, beat the cocoa mixture into the hot milk mixture. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and cook until thickened and smooth, 1 minute more.
4 Pour the contents of the saucepan into a large bowl. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Cover securely with a piece of plastic wrap, fitting the wrap closely to the pudding surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold, 3 hours up to overnight.
5 To serve, spoon the pudding into dessert bowls. Garnish with a little chopped chocolate, if desired, and serve.
