Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons hazelnut extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instruction

  • Whisk together 1 egg with 2 egg yolks. Set aside.
  • Into a blender or food processor add chocolate, vanilla extract, and butter. Wait to process, set aside.
  • In a medium-sized pot, combine milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and kosher salt over medium heat and whisk until mixture is smooth. Continue to whisk as mixture comes to a low boil. When the mixture starts to thicken, remove from heat.
  • Temper the reserved egg and egg whites with 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture, whisking to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Once tempered, add eggs to chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Return chocolate mixture to the stove now set over low heat. Continue to whisk until mixture reaches a low simmer.
  • Pour chocolate into the blender or food processor and blend until pudding is smooth. Add 2 teaspoons hazelnut extract and blend again to incorporate the flavor.
  • Pour pudding a large airtight storage container or into individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
