Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
5 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (at least 60% cacao), finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
To finish:
2 graham crackers
Marshmallow cream
Directions
Special equipment:
a kitchen torch- Combine the cream and milk in a large, heavy saucier or saucepan and bring just to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, add the sugar and cornstarch to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix together. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and salt to the mixing bowl just as the cream mixture is coming to a simmer. Beat on medium speed to combine, then slowly pour the hot cream down the sides of the mixing bowl to temper the sugar-egg mixture. Continue beating until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise and is beginning to bubble.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate and butter; continue stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
- Immediately divide the pudding among serving cups or pour into one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressed direct onto the pudding to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set and completely cool, about 2 hours.
- When the pudding is ready to serve, place the graham crackers in a zip-close bag and crush into rough pieces. Place some marshmallow cream in a piping bag and pipe a mound onto each pudding. Lightly brown the top of the marshmallow with a kitchen torch. Sprinkle with graham crackers and serve immediately.
