Amaretto Chocolate Pudding
August 3, 2011
Chocolate pudding makes a great Summer-time dessert. Well, it makes a great dessert any time of the year, but I like pudding in the Summer because it is served chilled and it's kind of a light dessert. Eating it in the Summer just feels right.
A box of instant chocolate pudding is good, regular (non-instant) is better, and a pudding that is hooched up a bit is even better.
Here's a chocolate pudding recipe that starts with a box for convenience, adds more chocolate for enhanced chocolate impact, and includes Amaretto liqueur for a nice almond flavor. The whipping cream on top is a nice touch which you can enhance further by topping with a fruit or more chocolate.
| Amaretto Chocolate Pudding • 1 chocolate pudding mix, 3.4 ounce box (not instant) • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped • 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk • 7 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur • 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream • 1 tablespoon sugar Pour dry chocolate pudding mix into heavy medium saucepan. Add chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Gradually mix in milk and 6 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur. Stir pudding over medium heat until chocolate melts and pudding comes to boil and thickens. Divide pudding equally among four 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour. Whip cream, sugar, and remaining 1 tablespoon Amaretto in small bowl until stiff peaks form. Top chilled puddings with large dollop of the whipped cream mixture. Garnish with raspberries and chocolate curls, if desired. |
Enjoy!
