Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Chocolate: It is the base of this recipe and where the dessert gets much of its flavor. I used dark chocolate with 70% cocoa. You may use 50% cocoa if you want it sweeter.

Cornstarch: Also known as cornflour. This is mainly used as a thickening agent. It helps the combined ingredients to have a thick, custard-like texture.

White sugar (granulated): This is the main sweetening agent I use for this dessert.

Whole milk: You may use almond milk or coconut milk instead of whole milk; however, I highly recommend using whole milk becauseI highly recommend using whole milk because it adds a richer and creamier texture to this dessert.

Butter: It adds a silky texture and good flavor.

Vanilla extract: It gives the chocolate dessert its delectable aroma.

Whipped cream and cocoa powder (Optional): I used whipped cream and cocoa powder as toppings for the dessert.

How to Make Chocolate Pots?

One: In a medium saucepan, mix chopped chocolate, sugar, milk, and cornflour over medium-low heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens.

Pro Tip: Make sure that you are melting the chocolate on low-medium heat, so you don’t burn it.

Two: Add the butter and vanilla extract and stir until combined.

Pro Tip: I highly recommend stirring constantly to prevent the chocolate and other ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Three: Divide the pudding evenly between 4 serving glasses or small cups and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.

Four: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of some cocoa powder, then serve.

Recipe Variations

• You can also add infused flavor to your chocolate pots. You might want to add orange zest to infuse it with an orange flavor.
• You can also use some peppermint extract for that added minty flavor.
• Top your chocolate pudding with nuts and fresh fruit, like fresh raspberries or blueberries for an added healthy spin to this dessert.
• For an extra creamy texture, you may add half milk and half heavy cream (double cream) if you want. You can also use coconut cream.
• To make this recipe dairy-free, skip the butter and use non-dairy milk.

Storage

Fridge: you can keep the chocolate pots in the fridge. Just make sure to cover the pots in plastic. This dessert will be good for 4 to 5 days.
