Chocolate Almond Pudding is a rich and creamy dessert that beautifully marries the smoothness of chocolate with the delightful nuttiness of almond flavor. This indulgent treat is perfect for chocolate lovers who seek a twist on traditional pudding. The recipe is simple, and it can be made in just a short time, making it an ideal dessert for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to elegant gatherings.
This pudding isn’t only deliciously satisfying but also offers a delightful depth of flavor thanks to the addition of almond extract. When garnished with slivered almonds or whipped cream, it transforms from a humble pudding into a stunning dessert presentation. Whether served chilled or warm, this Chocolate Almond Pudding is sure to impress and leave everyone craving more.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Slivered almonds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. Make certain there are no lumps of cocoa powder or cornstarch to guarantee a smooth pudding.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk the mixture constantly. As it heats up, it will begin to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes, so be patient and keep whisking to prevent burning.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the almond extract and chocolate chips. Continue to whisk until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large dish, and let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
- Once chilled, serve the pudding topped with slivered almonds for a delightful crunch and additional almond flavor. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Extra Tips:
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you’re looking for a fun twist, you can also fold in some crushed cookies or graham crackers just before serving for added texture. This pudding can be made a day in advance, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.
Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Almond Pudding!
