Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 8 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for crumble)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
• 1/4 cup rolled oats (for crumble)
• 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

How to Make Chocolate Pudding with Crumble Topping

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is smooth.
4. Pour the chocolate pudding into serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
5. While the pudding is chilling, prepare the crumble topping. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and unsalted butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Spread the crumble mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Allow to cool.
8. Once the pudding is set, top each serving with a generous amount of crumble and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to whisk continuously while heating the pudding to prevent lumps.
• Allow the crumble to cool completely for the best crunch.
• For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a higher percentage dark chocolate.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Addition: Stir in some chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, into the crumble for an extra crunch.
• Flavor Twist: Add a splash of espresso or coffee to the pudding for a mocha flavor.
• Fruit Layer: Incorporate fresh berries or banana slices between the pudding and crumble for a fruity touch.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• Fresh berries to add a touch of freshness.
• Vanilla ice cream for a delightful temperature contrast.
