Hi Bold Bakers!
Chocolate pudding is one of my all time favorite desserts. It definitely comes down to the richness and soft, creamy texture. I’m all about consistency when it comes to desserts so this one ticks all the boxes.
I thought I would Irish it up this Saint Patrick’s Day and put a big splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream into my chocolate pudding. If you have had Bailey’s before you will know it is more creamy then anything. It has the smoothness of a liquor without a very boozy flavor. It makes a great addition to desserts and drinks, especially when they are chocolate based.
The chocolate I use to make my pudding has 72% cocoa solids. You want a dark, rich chocolate because it will make your chocolate pudding even more decadent. Quality ingredients will always make your desserts stand out from the rest.
Back to texture, I serve my pudding with whipped cream on top. The reason I do this is to get even more soft, smooth texture but also the cream will balance out the sweet chocolate.
