Chocolate pudding recipe?

Question

Hi I need a recipe for chocolate pudding that does not contain any cornstarch! It seems very hard to find one without it....is it possible to substitiute it for flour maybe? And I'm also trying to watch how much eggs I intake, and cream as well. Keep in mind that I would like to keep this recipe as traditional tasting as possible (no tofu please). Thanks everyone!!!!!!
Cheers!

P.S. I am competent enough to know that I can go buy some, search on yahoo or go to allrecipes.com :|thank you very much. I also specified no cornstarch if you could keep that into consideration. I am going to try cister's recipe right now... sounds good and looks very much indeed like a best answer

Answer 1

3 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 egg yolk, from an egg graded "large"
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. half and half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. unsweetened alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
Few grains of salt
2 tsp. orange liqueur
1 tsp. vanilla
For serving:
Lightly sweetened whipped cream
Shaved or grated bittersweet chocolate

Method:
Set ramekins aside near stovetop. Place finely chopped bittersweet chocolate into a liquid measuring cup of at least 3-cup capacity (I use a one-quart liquid measure). Place a fine strainer atop the liquid measuring cup, then place the whole assembly on a hot pad near your stovetop.
Place egg yolk in a small bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons of the half and half (no need to measure), beating well with a fork (reserve remaining half and half).

Combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in small, heavy-bottomed, nonaluminum saucepan; blend well with whisk. Add yolk mixture and stir well to blend, scraping bottom and sides of pot with rubber spatula. Heat reserved half and half (either in separate small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, or in microwave) until very hot. Gradually (very gradually at first) pour into yolk-sugar-cocoa mixture, stirring constantly with whisk. Scrape sides and bottom of pot with rubber spatula.

Set this mixture over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil; boil and stir one minute, reducing heat slightly if mixture starts boiling hard. Remove from heat immediately and stir for about a minute. Pour about one-third of this hot liquid through the sieve onto the chocolate. Wait for a minute or two, then gently whisk chocolate until melted and smooth. Add about half of remaining hot liquid through the sieve and whisk in gently. Scrape bottom and sides of liquid measuring cup to ensure thorough blending of ingredients. Strain in final portion of hot liquid. Add liqueur and vanilla and stir in gently until combined.

Divide custard among ramekins. Remember to leave a little headroom at the top of each ramekin for whipped cream. Carefully transfer ramekins to refrigerator. Chill at least two hours before serving, covering tightly with plastic wrap when cold.

Serve with a puff of lightly sweetened whipped cream on top; sprinkle a tiny bit of the shaved or grated chocolate onto the whipped cream.

Martha recipe:

For the pudding
2 tablespoons cornstarch
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk

RECIPE
Measure out pudding ingredients before beginning.

Work time: 20 minutes
Chilling time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour

1. In heavy-bottom medium- size saucepan, whisk together cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.

2. Add the cream, milk, and eggs. Whisk until combined.

3. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Set pan over medium heat. Whisk slowly and constantly, making sure to scrape sides of pan, just until pudding begins to boil, 7 to 8 minutes.

5. A grown-up should remove saucepan from heat and transfer pudding mixture to a medium bowl.

6. Make ice bath: Fill large bowl with ice and a little water. Set bowl of pudding in ice, and stir pudding until it starts to cool, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Cover with plastic; refrigerate until thick and well chilled, about 40 minutes or overnight.

Answer 3

that seems like way too much milk! For that amount of chocolate, I would use 2- 3 cups milk. The recipe that thedream posted above, using Ghirardelli chips looks AWESOME!

Answer 4

Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding:

Adding cornstarch to this homey pudding lessens the possibility of its curdling. To prevent the custard from tipping and taking on ice water, make sure the bowl you use for the ice bath is only slightly larger than the custard bowl.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Place egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually add hot milk mixture to egg yolks, stirring constantly. Return milk mixture to pan. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes or until mixture is thick, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from heat, and add chopped chocolate and vanilla extract, stirring until the chocolate melts. Spoon pudding into a small bowl. Place bowl in a large ice-filled bowl for 15 minutes or until pudding is cool, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from ice; cover and chill.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)
