Step 2: Make the Chocolate Pudding
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk to avoid lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth pudding consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
- Let it cool slightly (but not fully set).
Step 3: Prepare the Cream Layer
- In a chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Whip using a mixer until soft peaks form.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.
Step 4: Assemble the Layers
- Spoon a layer of chocolate pudding over the base (if using).
- Add a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Repeat the layers until your dish is filled.
- Finish with a generous cream layer on top.
Step 5: Chill and Set
- Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours.
- This allows the layers to firm up and flavors to blend beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
