Instructions:
These individual chocolate puddings are rich and
delicious, and are extremely simple to make.
Bigelow® Darjeeling Tea gives this dessert an elegant flair
and distinct flavor. For a different twist, try one of the other
Bigelow® Tea substitutions listed in the recipe, all of which
are perfectly paired with chocolate. You can even use the mixture
for a sophisticated fudgesicle...pour into popsicle molds and
freeze overnight for a decadent frozen treat!
In a glass measuring cup, heat milk in the microwave for 1-2
minutes, or until very hot. Alternatively, this step can be done
in a small saucepan over medium-high heat on the
stovetop.
Place the tea bags in the hot milk and allow to steep for 2
minutes. Thoroughly squeeze out tea bags into milk before
discarding.
Meanwhile, place chocolate chips in a blender and process until
finely chopped.
Pour the hot tea infused milk over the chocolate and blend until
smooth, about one minute. Add egg and a pinch of salt and blend
again to incorporate fully. Note: It is important that the milk
is hot to ensure the chocolate melts completely and creates the
right consistency.
Divide mixture evenly between four tea cups (or individually sized
ramekins) and place in refrigerator to chill for at least 30
minutes. During this time, the mixture will firm up to the
consistency of pudding.
Serve chilled, with any combination of the following garnishes:
whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or fresh mint leaves.
