Decadent Chocolate Cream Stove-Top Pudding with Cookie Crumble

Ingredients

- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 vanilla cookies, crushed into coarse crumbs

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is thoroughly combined and the sugar is fully dissolved. Ensure the cocoa powder has no lumps.

2. Add the Chocolate
Once the mixture is heated through (about 5 minutes), lower the heat to prevent scalding and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

3. Incorporate Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the vanilla flavor throughout the pudding.

4. Chill the Pudding
Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into individual serving cups or a serving dish. Allow to cool slightly at room temperature before covering with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set fully.

5. Add Cookie Crumble
Before serving, sprinkle the crushed vanilla cookies generously over each serving of pudding, allowing the contrasting textures to delight every bite.
