Baileys chocolate pudding is an easy and elegant 15-minute dessert to make when you’re short on time. Chock-full of chocolate and Irish cream flavors, this pudding is smooth, rich, and decadent.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch, whisking to thoroughly incorporate. Add milk and whisk until dry ingredients are dissolved. Next, whisk in the egg yolk and heavy cream.
1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 1/3 cups milk, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 cup heavy cream
Place the pan over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens. It may take a bit for the mixture to heat, but it will thicken quickly once it comes to a simmer.
As soon as the mixture thickens, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the Baileys Irish Cream and vanilla.
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream, 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add chocolate and whisk until it is completed melted and smooth.
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
Pour pudding into individual serving dishes. Let the pudding cool slightly then cover the tops with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
If desired, garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate curls.
