Instructions

 

• Mix the Pudding Ingredients: In a pot, mix together the agar-agar powder, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, sweetened condensed milk, and water. Stir until well combined.
• Cook the Pudding Mixture: Cook the pudding mixture until it boils. Then, add the dark cooking chocolate and stir again until the chocolate melts and the mixture boils.
• Pour and Cool the Pudding: Once boiling, remove the mixture from the heat and let it sit for a while to reduce the steam. Pour into molds until they are 3/4 full and refrigerate until the pudding sets.
• Make Vanilla Custard: In another pot, mix together cornstarch, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir well and cook until it boils and thickens.
• Cool the Custard: After the custard has boiled, remove it and cover it to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. Let the custard cool, then stir until smooth.
• Serve the Pudding: Take the set pudding out of the fridge, and drizzle vanilla custard over it.
• Add Topping: Sprinkle some dark cooking chocolate as a topping in the middle of the custard.

Notes

Ensure Smooth Consistency: To prevent lumps in your pudding, sift the cocoa powder and agar-agar powder before mixing them with the other ingredients.

Balance the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of your cocoa powder and chocolate.

Stir Continuously: While cooking the pudding mixture, continuously stir to ensure even heating and to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Melting the Chocolate: Add the dark cooking chocolate to the hot pudding mixture off the heat. This helps the chocolate melt smoothly without burning.

Cooling the Pudding: Before refrigerating, let the pudding cool at room temperature to prevent condensation inside the fridge, which can affect the pudding’s texture.

Perfect Custard Thickness: For the vanilla custard, cook until it just starts to thicken. Overcooking can make it too thick and lumpy.

Avoid Skin Formation on Custard: Cover the custard with a cling film, making sure the film touches the surface of the custard. This prevents a skin from forming as it cools.

Unmolding the Pudding: If you’re using a mold for your pudding, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in warm water before unmolding. This helps release the pudding smoothly.

Serving Temperature: Serve the pudding chilled, but the custard at room temperature for the best texture contrast.

Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add your personal touch with different toppings like whipped cream, fruit, or nuts in addition to the chocolate sprinkles.
