Chocolate Pudding Summer!

Its been a hot summer so far. A cold glass of water brings in so much of comfort these days. Summer means more time to sleep in the mornings as there is no rush to get the children ready for school. Days have been long and lazy. My husband’s sister visited us and I made this easy chocolate pudding. Here is how to do an easy Chocolate Pudding.

Whisk water, cocoa and sugar until its mixed well. Heat the mixture on medium flame until boiling. Remove off heat and set aside.

Take a pan and mix the condensed milk, milk and cream and bring it to a boil. When boiling add in the cocoa mixture and reduce the flame to the lowest setting on the stove. Let it simmer.

In the mean time, take a cup and add in the water and custard powder and mix well. Add it to the simmering pan. Mix well. Let it come to a boil. Remove off heat.

A note on CHINA GRASS / AGAR AGAR

China Grass sets at room temperature. So boil it only after getting everything ready. You cannot prepare this in advance and keep it for use later. Once you boil the china grass, it needs to be added to the pudding mixture immediately.

Soak the china grass / agar agar for 10 minutes and heat the mixture until the agar agar is completely melted.

Add it to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Strain to get rid off any small pieces. Then pour it in cups and let it set in the refrigerator for an hour.

For the chocolate ganache topping : Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Set aside. Bring the cream to a boil and remove from heat.

Add in the chocolate to the hot cream and mix well. Never heat the chocolate on the stove. It will burn. The heat of the cream is sufficient to melt the chocolate. Mix well until all the chocolate is incorporated.

Pour a tablespoon of chocolate ganache on each chocolate pudding cup.

Decorate with chocolate shavings. Chocolate Pudding is almost ready.

Refrigerate for 4-5 hours and serve Chocolate Pudding chilled.
