Ingredients:
2 cups fat-free milk |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon instant espresso |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 (4-oz.) semisweet chocolate baking bar, chopped |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/3 cup thawed reduced-fat frozen whipped topping |
garnishes: toasted sliced almonds, chocolate shavings |
Directions:
1. Whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, instant espresso, and salt in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until mixture is hot. Gradually whisk 1/3 cup hot milk mixture into egg. Whisk egg mixture into remaining hot milk mixture.
2. Cook, whisking constantly, 3 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and add chopped chocolate, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into a glass bowl. Place heavy-duty plastic wrap directly on warm mixture (to prevent a film from forming), and chill 2 hours or until pudding is completely cool.
3. Spoon 1/2 cup pudding into each of 5 individual serving dishes, and top each with 1 Tbsp. whipped topping. Garnish, if desired.
