Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• Pinch of salt
• Chocolate balls or shavings for garnish

How to Make Caramel Chocolate Pudding

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt over medium heat.
2. Continue to whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
4. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours.
5. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the chilled pudding and garnish with chocolate balls or shavings for added texture and flair.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to whisk continuously to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• For an extra rich flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
• Allow the pudding to cool slightly before chilling; this helps with the texture.
• Experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or oat, for a dairy-free version.

Easy Variations

• Salted Caramel: Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel sauce for a sweet-salty twist.
• Nutty Delight: Stir in crushed nuts like pecans or hazelnuts for additional crunch.
• Mint Chocolate: Mix in a few drops of peppermint extract for a refreshing flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
• Whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing.
• Shortbread cookies for a delightful crunch.
