Rich, Velvety Pudding with Deep Espresso Notes
There's something magical about combining two of the world's great pleasures — fine chocolate and exceptional coffee. This dark chocolate coffee pudding uses Funnel Mill's Dark Chocolate Truffle espresso to create a dessert that's deeply complex, silky smooth, and utterly indulgent.
Ingredients:
- 2 shots Dark Chocolate Truffle espresso
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (high-quality, Dutch-process)
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 4 oz dark chocolate (70%+), finely chopped
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Brew your Dark Chocolate Truffle espresso
- Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan.
- Gradually whisk in milk and cream until smooth — no lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble (about 8–10 minutes).
- Stir in the brewed Funnel Mill coffee, chopped dark chocolate, vanilla, and butter. Stir until fully melted and glossy.
- Pour into individual serving cups or ramekins.
- Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top with lightly whipped cream and a dusting of Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee grounds
- Pair with a cup of Funnel Mill pour-over for a full coffee-forward dessert experience
- Garnish with a few flakes of sea salt to amplify the chocolate depth
