A Bowl of Salted Chocolate Pudding
A rich and creamy salted chocolate pudding made from scratch with cocoa, dark chocolate, and a touch of sea salt. This no-bake dessert is quick, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large egg yolks
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Crushed chocolate cookies (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place a medium saucepan on the stove. In the pan, whisk together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt until combined.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking to keep the mixture smooth. Add egg yolks and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Turn the heat to medium and continue whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 8–10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or glasses.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of each to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Top with whipped cream and crushed cookies before serving if desired.
Notes
- Sift cocoa powder to avoid lumps for a smoother pudding.
- For a richer flavor, substitute some milk with cream.
- Add espresso powder for a mocha twist.
