Chocolate Bits Pudding
From GMA's Food Editor and author, Sara Moulton
Friday, February 4, 2005

Having a party? Whether it be a big bash like the Super Bowl or Oscars or a small get together, here's another suggestion from Sara Moulton that will help make your party a smash success. Not having a party? Make this pudding ahead and make any meal a special treat when you serve this pudding for for dessert.

Ingredients

6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch table salt

3 large eggs

Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for garnish

Directions

Set a metal bowl over a pan of simmering, not boiling, water. Combine the chocolate and milk in the bowl and heat until the chocolate is melted.

Whisk in the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Regulate the heat so that the water stays at a constant slow simmer.

Cook the pudding, stirring often, until thick and an instant-read thermometer reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, five to 10 minutes.

Pour into four half-cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least three hours.

The pudding can be made up to two days in advance. Top with a dollop of whipped cream just before serving.

Makes 4 servings
