This must be one of the easiest chocolate puddings to make and can be jazzed up with any number of garnishes.
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
400ml milk
3 tablespoons caster sugar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons fine semolina
75 grams dark chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
crème fraîche or thick plain yoghurt (or use a combination of both)
shaved dark chocolate
pistachios, roasted almonds or hazelnuts
fresh raspberries or cherries
METHOD
Put the milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Gradually drizzle in the semolina, whisking constantly and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and vanilla until smooth.
Spoon into serving dishes or glasses and cool.
