Mint chocolate pudding
Thursday 03 September 2009 at 10:33 amI LOVE mint chocolates... I love them a LOT. He loves them too. So when we found the following recipe we couldn't resist making it. We had to tweak it around a bit (since we couldn't find all the ingredients) and the following recipe was the result:
450ml milk
125ml Chocolate and Mint Bailey's
4 heaped tbsp cornstarch
2 heaped tbsp cocoa powder
40g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
10 mint leaves (fresh) or 2 sprigs of mint
45g plain chocolate (76% solids)
4 pieces of after eight
First of all mix the cocoa and the cornstarch, add some milk, whisk it thoroughly to get a smooth consistency. Add the rest of the milk, the Bailey's, the sugar, vanilla sugar, and mint leaves, and bring this to a boil. Make sure you stir the mix properly in order to avoid lumps in your pudding. As soon as the mix is boiling, reduce the heat and add the chocolate and after eight (you can decide to take out the mint leaves before you add the chocolate (or leave them in to add to the suprise-effect)). Let it simmer, stirring continuously, for another 5 minutes. It should be nice and gloopy by then. Transfer the mixture to several small bowles or to one big one, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Serve with freshly whipped cream and a sprig of mint.
Bon appetite!
