Malted Milk Chocolate Pudding with Crispy Meringue Crumbs
Here’s a visual treat to get you excited about this chocolate pudding!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup malted milk powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for topping)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for meringue)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the malted milk powder, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk and place the saucepan over medium heat. Continue to whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the pudding thickens, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- For the crispy meringue crumbs, preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Spoon the meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating small blobs or nests.
- Bake the meringue for about 1-2 hours or until completely firm and dry. Allow to cool completely before breaking into crumbs.
- Once the pudding has cooled in the refrigerator for at least two hours, serve topped with whipped cream and sprinkle with the crispy meringue crumbs for an irresistible texture contrast.
