INGREDIENTS

150 g (5 2/7 oz) chocolate
300 ml (1 ¼ cups) heavy cream
¼ cup (¼ cup) sugar
¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) salt
2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) vanilla extract
½ tablespoon (½ tablespoon) liqueur optional
1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) chocolate grated

INSTRUCTIONS

Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. This ensures it melts evenly when combined with the hot cream.
In a saucepan, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture continuously over medium heat.
Keep stirring the cream mixture until it's about to simmer. You'll notice small bubbles at the edges - that's your cue to remove it from the heat. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate pieces in the bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for about one minute. This process allows the chocolate to gently begin melting.
After a minute, stir the mixture well. You can use a hand whisk, silicone spatula, or a stick blender for a smooth consistency. If desired, this is the time to add ½ tablespoon of your favorite liqueur or a few drops of essence/flavor for an extra kick.
Divide the mixture evenly between four pudding jars. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, place the pudding jars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or longer. This step is crucial for the pudding to set properly.
Just before serving, garnish each pudding pot with grated chocolate for an aesthetically pleasing and delicious finish.

NOTES

Chocolate Choice: The type of chocolate you use will greatly influence the flavor. For a richer taste, go for dark chocolate. Milk chocolate will give a sweeter, milder taste.

Smooth Consistency: For a smooth and creamy texture, ensure the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is well-blended. Avoid rushing this step.

Enhancing Flavor: The addition of liqueur or essence adds depth to the flavor. Consider options like orange liqueur, mint essence, or coffee liqueur for different twists.

Serving Suggestion: Serve chilled. For an extra touch, accompany with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
