The subtle heat from the ginger adds a new dimension to the classic chocolate experience, making it a great option for a cozy night in or a dinner party. Making this pudding is surprisingly easy and requires just a few pantry staples.
The combination of cocoa powder, ginger, and a hint of cinnamon creates a warm and inviting flavor profile that’s both satisfying and invigorating. Serve it chilled, topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa for an extra touch of elegance. This pudding is sure to become a favorite dessert in your household.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will help prevent clumps from forming when you add the liquid.
- Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking the dry ingredients. This will guarantee that the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Once all the milk is added, place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Be patient and continue whisking to avoid any burning on the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Whisk well to incorporate the vanilla, which adds a lovely aroma and flavor to the pudding.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a larger dish and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap is in direct contact with the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- When ready to serve, top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream if desired, and enjoy the rich, spiced flavor of your homemade ginger spice chocolate pudding.
Extra Tips:
For a more intense ginger flavor, consider adding finely grated fresh ginger to the mixture while cooking. Adjust the sugar according to your taste preference, especially if you prefer a less sweet pudding.
This dessert can also be made ahead of time, making it a perfect choice for entertaining.
Pair it with a spiced tea or coffee for a warm dessert experience!
