Ingredients
For the Pudding:
- 1/2 cup (150g) Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/3 cups (320g) Plain yogurt (no added sugar)
- 3 Tbsp (45g) Water
- 2 tsp (7g) Powdered gelatin (unflavored)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Sauce:
- 1/3 cup (100g) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tbsp (12g) Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 Tbsp Water (optional, for a runnier sauce)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pudding
- Combine Condensed Milk and Yogurt: In a large bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk. Add the room-temperature yogurt and mix well with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Important: If the yogurt is cold, warm the mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds to ensure it reaches room temperature. Set aside.
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, pour 3 Tbsp of water and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Stir until completely dissolved. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to let the gelatin absorb the water.
- Melt the Gelatin: Microwave the gelatin mixture for 15 seconds to lightly warm and melt it. Be careful not to overheat the gelatin, as this will reduce its effectiveness.
- Combine Gelatin with Yogurt Mixture: Pour the melted gelatin into the yogurt mixture and mix well until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: Prepare the Molds
- Fill the Molds: Take 6 silicone muffin molds and fill them with the pudding mixture. If you don’t have silicone molds, you can use a muffin tin, but grease it with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Avoid using butter because it will solidify in the fridge, causing the pudding to stick to the tin.
- Chill: Place the filled molds in the fridge and chill for about 4 hours or overnight until the puddings are firm.
Step 3: Make the Chocolate Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix with a whisk until the cocoa is completely dissolved. It may seem like they won’t mix properly at first, but continue whisking until smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: For a slightly runnier sauce, you can add 1/2 tablespoon of water. This step is optional based on your preferred consistency.
Step 4: Serve the Pudding
- Release the Pudding: Once the puddings are set, run a small knife around the edges to loosen them from the mold. Be gentle and run the knife only at the base of the pudding to avoid damaging its shape.
- Invert and Serve: Gently pull the sides of the silicone mold to release the pudding and invert it onto serving plates. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top and serve.
