Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Creamy Vanilla Layer
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
Optional Toppings
- Chocolate shavings
- Cocoa powder
- Crushed cookies or biscuit crumbs
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding
In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder until well combined. Gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This usually takes 5–7 minutes. Once thick, remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Set aside to cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Vanilla Layer
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light, fluffy, and creamy filling.
