CHOCOLATE PUDDING SQUARES
 
 
Ingredients
  • 180ml water
  • 110g caster sugar
  • 280ml milk
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 95ml whipping cream
  • 4g agar agar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 30g dark chocolate
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, add all the ingredients except for dark chocolate and heat on medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture is uniform and completely smooth with no dry pockets of cocoa powder.
  2. Bring the mixture up to a rolling boil, ensuring it bubbles actively for at least 1–2 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat immediately. Toss the finely chopped dark chocolate directly into the hot saucepan. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds so the residual heat melts the chocolate, then whisk smoothly until glossy and emulsified.
  4. Pour the warm liquid mixture into your dish. Let it cool down to room temperature on the counter , then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill and set completely for at least 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Once fully set, dust it with cocoa powder, slice the firm pudding into neat, bite-sized squares, and serve chilled!
