Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Van Houtte Columbian Light Instant Coffee
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1 cup 6 oz or 175 grams chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 8 basic crepes see Notes for the link to Basic Crepes recipe

Instructions

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients (brown sugar through cinnamon) in a medium pot. Whisk to get rid of any lumps. Add the milk and cream and whisk to combine well. Add the chocolate chips.
  2. Place the pot over medium heat, stir regularly to keep the chocolate chips from settling on the bottom where they could scorch until the mixture starts to simmer.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir until thickened up. This should take between 4 and 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. Stir it through.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl (or small serving bowls) Cover the surface with plastic wrap. Chill till ready to serve.
  6. Serve with fruit, or with whipped cream. Or both!

  7. Feel free to sandwich this delectable pudding inside tender crepes. Add whipped cream and fruit for a festive dessert or decadent brunch!
