Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- **Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
2. Add Milk and Cream
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken and bubbles appear (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Add Flavor
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Bailey’s Irish Cream, Kahlua, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Chill the Pudding
Pour the pudding into individual serving cups or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
5. Serve and Garnish
When ready to serve, top each pudding with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
