Ingredients
For the Chocolate Pudding:
  • 2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 5 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 ½ Tbsp Corn Starch
  • 1 ½ Cup Milk
  • ½ Cup Whipping Cream (Heavy Cream)
  • 130gr Semisweet Chocolate (I used dark chocolate with 51% cocoa)
For the Whip Cream Topping:
  • 1 Cup Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
Instructions
  1. Have 6 small (150ml) glass jars (with lids) ready and set aside (you can also use dessert bowls)
  2. Place the corn starch, cocoa powder and sugar in a medium sized pot and mix together.
  3. Add just a bit of the milk (about ¼ cup) while stirring (stirring is very important since it prevents lumps in your pudding). Stir until the consistency is cream/paste like and no lumps.
  4. Place the pot over medium heat and gradually add the rest of the milk while consistently stirring.
  5. Add in the whipping cream and keep on stirring.
  6. When the mix starts to boil (simmers), reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the mix thickens a bit (About 5 minutes).
  7. Add in the chocolate and keep stirring until it melts completely into the mix.
  8. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  9. While the pudding is cooling off, keep stirring it every few minutes to prevent the formation of a thin film on top of it. This will make sure your pudding is even and smooth.
  10. After 5-10 minutes, pour the chocolate pudding into glass jars (or you can use small dessert bowls) and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  11. After 20 minutes, place the jars with pudding in the fridge for about 2-3 hours (this will allow the pudding to set)
  12. After 2-3 hours, prepare the whip cream for the topping by whipping the cream and the sugar with your mixer on medium speed until you get a stiff fluffy cream.
  13. Using a spoon or a piping bag add the whip cream to the top of the pudding.
  14. If you are using jars with lids you can now close the lids and place back in the fridge. If using dessert bowls you can store the bowls in the fridge covered with plastic wrap to maintain the freshness.
Notes
*This dessert will stay good for 5-7 days when kept sealed and refrigerated*
