Questions about Chocolate pudding
How do you make chocolate pudding from scratch?
Whisk sugar, cocoa and cornflour with a little cold milk, then gradually whisk in the rest. Heat gently, stirring, until it thickens and bubbles; cook for a further minute, take off the heat and stir in chopped chocolate and a little butter.
How do you stop a skin forming on chocolate pudding?
Press cling film directly onto the surface while it cools, then refrigerate. For a softer skin-free top, stir the pudding occasionally as it cools instead.
How long does chocolate pudding keep in the fridge?
Cover it and refrigerate promptly; eat within three days. Keep it chilled until serving, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
Can you freeze chocolate pudding?
You can freeze it in a sealed container, but thawed pudding may turn grainy or release water. Thaw it overnight in the fridge and whisk well before serving; freezing works best for pudding you plan to blend into a shake or use in a layered dessert.
What goes well with chocolate pudding?
Serve it with raspberries, sliced banana or strawberries to cut through the sweetness, or add a spoonful of whipped cream for a richer dessert. Crushed biscuits and toasted nuts give it a useful contrast in texture.
What is the difference between chocolate pudding and chocolate mousse?
Chocolate pudding is usually thickened with cornflour or starch and eaten with a spoon; mousse gets its lighter, airier texture from whipped cream or beaten egg whites. Chocolate mousse has 189 kcal and 5.3 g protein per 100 g, compared with 142 kcal and 2.1 g in chocolate pudding.
Can you use chocolate pudding as a cake filling?
Yes. Chill it until firm, then spread a thin layer between cake layers; a thick homemade pudding made with extra cornflour is less likely to squeeze out. Keep the filled cake refrigerated.
Is chocolate pudding safe for young children?
Its smooth texture is generally easy for young children to manage, but serve it seated and supervise them while they eat. Check that it has cooled enough, especially if it has just been cooked.
