Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar (or preferred sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons cold/room temp water
- 2 teaspoons Goose Goods Gelatin
- Pinch of salt
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid and become gel-like.
Step 2: Heat the Chocolate Mixture
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, cacao powder, and salt until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin
Once the milk mixture is hot but not boiling, remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Mix well until fully dissolved and the pudding is silky smooth.
Step 4: Pour & Chill
Divide the pudding into serving cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Enjoy as is, or for an ultra-creamy texture, blend the set pudding before serving. Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for an extra indulgent treat!
Tips & Variations
Dairy-Free Option: Swap whole milk and cream for full-fat coconut milk.
Sweeter or Darker? Adjust the sugar and cacao to taste!
Try New Toppings: Add whipped cream, berries, jam or crumbled cookies.
