Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for drizzle)
- Extra chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
How to Make Chocolate Pudding with Crumble Topping
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- While the pudding is cooling, prepare the crumble topping. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until crumbly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the crumble mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir halfway through baking for even cooking.
- Once the crumble has cooled, spoon the chocolate pudding into serving dishes or bowls. Top generously with the crumble mixture.
- Drizzle with extra chocolate sauce before serving for an extra touch of indulgence.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Make sure to whisk the pudding continuously to avoid lumps.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before adding the crumble to maintain its texture.

- Mix in some crushed nuts or chocolate chips into the crumble for added texture.
