Description

Satiny smooth & chocolate-y pudding ready in a jiffy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (18 U.S fl oz/ 19 oz) milk
  • 4 to 4.5 tbsp (or to taste) nutella
  • 1.5 tsp (or to taste) sugar
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp cornflour
  • For Garnish :
  • Crushed choco chip biscuits OR rosettes from whipped cream

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl add in 1/4 cup milk & cornflour, stir and set aside.
  2. In a heavy bottom pan add in the remaining 2 cups milk, nutella, sugar, salt & stir with a hand whisk. Keep the pan over heat and stir over a low flame and let come to a slow boil. Stir and cook till the nutella is well blended into the milk. This may take about 2 to 3 mins.
  3. At this point you may taste and adjust the sweetness or add more nutella if desired.
  4. Now add in the cornflour slurry whilst stirring constantly with a hand whisk so that lumos are not formed. Stir and cook till it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (i.e custard consistency), about 3 to 5 mins.
  5. Remove from flame and pour in to individual serving bowls or a single large bowl. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Then set in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.
  6. Just before serving or once the pudding sets, garnish. Serve chilled.

Notes

You may even serve this pudding warm. The consistency in that case may not be very thick. So you can if desired add a tablespoon more cornflour when cooking if you wish to serve it warm.
