Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips
Flavoring and Thickening Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) Baileys Irish Cream
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons (15 g) cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and create a smooth base.
- Position the saucepan over medium heat, continuously stirring the mixture to prevent scorching and ensure even heating.
- Maintain a gentle warming process, stirring consistently until the liquid begins to thicken and steam rises, taking care not to let it reach a full boil.
- Reduce heat to low and continue stirring, allowing the mixture to develop a rich, velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Once the pudding reaches a thick, pudding-like texture, remove from heat and incorporate Baileys Irish Cream, stirring until fully integrated.
- Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, pressing the wrap gently against the pudding.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled and set, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Boost chocolate intensity by using high-quality dark cocoa powder for richer, deeper flavor profiles.
- Temper eggs carefully when adding hot mixture to prevent scrambling and ensure silky smooth texture.
- Replace regular milk with lactose-free alternatives for dairy-sensitive individuals without compromising creamy consistency.
- Add splash of extra Baileys during final mixing for enhanced Irish cream liqueur notes and more pronounced boozy undertone.
