1 Video | Photo: Chocolate Pudding and Pretzels Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup pretzels, lightly crushed
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Special Equipment: 4 (4-ounce) ramekins
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a sheet tray, gently toss pretzels, butter and 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until sugar melts and crystallizes on the pretzels, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa, 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Form a well in the center and slowly whisk in milk over medium heat. This helps prevent the cornstarch from clumping. Bring mixture to a boil to thicken. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk a little of the milk mixture into the egg to temper. Add egg mixture to the pot of milk. Heat over low until mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in chips until melted and combined well. Pour pudding into ramekins. Chill at least 1 hour. To serve, top with pretzels.

I made this pudding to go with a flourless chocolate cake to make "Chocolate Lovin' Spoon Cake" it's a Sweet Street cake, my boyfriend grew up in a fancy restaurant and loves this cake. He begged me to come up with a similar recipe so I thickened up this pudding using a little more cornstarch and more cocoa for a richer effect. The pudding is really rich and thick, hopefully they will come close.

Awesomely easy and delicious! Store bought pudding is a thing of the past now! sadly...the pretzels didn't make it to the pudding..they was so delicious. Guess I'll have to make more when the pudding is chilled

Fabulous recipe even without the pretzels! To change things up occasionally, substitute dark chocolate/mint chips or peanut butter chips anytime, very yummy.
