Double Chocolate Pudding

                                                                             



If you are a chocoholic like me you are bound to love this recipe! The rich velvety taste of chocolate is absolutely droolworthy.  And to think it takes barely minutes to make this divine dessert. What more can one ask for!!?!!

So why is it called a " double chocolate pudding"? Well, because not only does it have cocoa powder in it, but also cooking chocolate. For me at least the more chocolate the better. If you feel the same way give this recipe a try.

Do not expect this dessert to set as there is no gelatin in it. The texture will remain like a very thick custard. But that is fine. One doesn't always want desserts which are set! But it does need to be nicely chilled to achieve the right note.


Ingredients: 

2 cups milk
2 tbsps cornflour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup sugar
4 oz cooking chocolate
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:   In a heavy bottom pan put milk to boil along with sugar.  Add cornflour, dissolved in little cold milk. Add some warm milk to the cocoa and mix well and then add to the boiling milk.Continue to stir till the milk thickens. Close flame and add the cooking chocolate. Stir till it dissolves. Add butter, salt and vanilla essence. Pour into a serving dish and allow to chill in the fridge for several hours. Garnish with cherries,cream, choco chips or biscuit crumbs.

Instead of one dish you can pour into four small bowls to make individual servings.
