Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 12 cups mini chocolate chips
Dairy Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Dry and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour whole milk into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth base.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent scorching, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and incorporate vanilla extract and butter, stirring until the butter completely melts and blends into the pudding.
- Transfer the pudding to a clean bowl, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent skin formation.
- Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until thoroughly cooled and set.
- Moments before serving, gently fold mini chocolate chips into the pudding to distribute evenly.
- Serve the chilled pudding in individual dessert bowls, enjoying the rich, creamy texture and chocolate chip crunch.
Notes
- Choose high-quality ingredients like pure vanilla extract and premium chocolate chips for a rich, luxurious flavor profile.
- Continuously whisk the pudding mixture to prevent lumps and ensure a silky smooth texture during cooking.
- Chill the pudding thoroughly to help it set properly and develop a deeper, more intense taste.
- For a gluten-free version, verify that your cornstarch is certified gluten-free and use dairy-free alternatives like almond milk if needed.
