¾ cup plus 2
tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 ½ cups whole milk
4 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-6 drops orange oil
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 ½ cups whole milk
4 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-6 drops orange oil
Combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a medium sized
saucepan.
Slowly whisk in the eggs, egg yolks, and milk. Heat the mixture
over medium-low heat until bubbling. Stir in the semi-sweet (or bittersweet)
chocolate and unsweetened chocolate.
Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a
boil, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Be sure to scrape the sides and the
bottoms of the pot as you whisk. As the pudding cooks, it will gradually darken
and thicken.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook while gently stirring
with a wooden spoon. After 1 – 2 minutes, the pudding should thickly coat the
spoon. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and orange oil.
Transfer pudding to 6 small bowls or jars. Cover the surface
with plastic wrap as it cools if you do not wish for a skin to form on the top
of the pudding. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, and then transfer to
the refrigerator for about an hour, or up to 2 days.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
