Not your average chocolate pudding! The infusion of Baileys Irish Cream transforms a classic dessert into a subtly sweet, boozy delight that's perfect for an after-dinner treat.
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a heavy, medium saucepan. Add milk and whisk until dry ingredients are dissolved.
In a separate small bowl combine egg yolk and cream and whisk lightly. Add to the milk mixture in the saucepan and whisk.
Cook, over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil and thickens. Remove from heat immediately and whisk in Bailey’s. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
Pour pudding into ramekins or serving dishes. Let cool slightly and cover the tops with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled – a minimum of 2 hours.
To serve, I like to add a good dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and a sprinkling of grated chocolate.
