Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup malted milk powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 quart milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 8 ounces chocolate, chopped or broken into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Put the sugar, cornstarch, malted milk powder, and salt into a saucepan, Whisk to combine. Add the milk, slowly, whisking to combine so there are no lumps or clumps. If you're using the malted milk powder that requires heat, you'll see grains, but you shouldn't have large lumps. Add the egg yolks and whisk to combine.
Turn the heat on to medium high, and cook, stirring constantly, until you see small bubbles beginning to form and the mixture begins thickening. Lower the heat a bit, and continue cooking and stirring constantly until you have large bubbles forming. The mixture should be thick. Turn the heat off and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated. Add the vanilla and stir until it is combined.
Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into your preferred storage container. If you don't like skin on top of your cooked pudding, put a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding. If you like that skin, just cover the container. Refrigerate until cold.
