Home Style Chocolate Pudding – dessert tonight - or breakfast in the morning!
Betsy P posted up this wonderful recipe on the group today:
“I have a 'from-scratch' chocolate pudding recipe that I just LOVE. Super-duper yummy stuff! Unfortunately, it does yucky things to my health....and we don't even need to mention the waist-line. Fortunately, just about anything can be THM-ified. Yeah....that's totally a word! I decided to set about doing some testing to see what I could come up with. This makes one serving of VERY rich pudding. If you don't want it as rich, decrease the amount of sweetener. I LOVED it! It absolutely hit the spot. MMMMMMMMMMMM Spoon-lickin' good!!!
Home-style Chocolate Pudding ~ S
1/4 c. THM Sweet Blend (or Truvia type sweetener)
1/2 t. xanthan gum
dash sea salt
1 c. unsweetened almond milk
1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 T. butter
1/2 t. vanilla
Combine the sweetener, xanthan gum, and salt in a small sauce pan. Stir in the almond milk and chopped chocolate. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into egg yolk (to temper). Return to mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat 3 - 4 minutes more. Do not let mixture boil. Remove pan from heat; stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour into serving dishes, cover top of pudding with wax paper touching pudding to prevent fats from settling at the top and forming 'scum' layer. Chill (overnight is preferable). Top with heavy cream whipped with some Sweet Blend or Stevia."
(Note – if you don’t have xanthan gum but do have glucomannan – give that a try as the thickener.)
