What Do You Need to Make Nutella Pudding?
- Nutella chocolate and hazelnut spread: This dessert gets its taste from Nutella. A combination of chocolate and hazelnuts which I think is great.
- Milk: The base of the Nutella pudding I made is milk. I used high-fat milk to make the pudding texture creamy, but you can also use low-fat milk or non-dairy milk.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: Cocoa powder adds a rich cocoa flavor to the dessert and makes the color of the pudding darker.
- Cornstarch: Cornstarch in this recipe thickens the pudding. To prevent the starch from forming lumps when added to milk, be sure to mix it in a small bowl with 1/2 cup of milk.
- Sweetener of Choice: Nutella has enough sugar in it so it will make the pudding perfectly sweet and there is no need to add sweetener. But if you are a sweet tooth, you can add a few tablespoons of granulated sugar or brown sugar.
- Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
- Whipped cream and hazelnuts for topping
How to Make Nutella Pudding?
Thoroughly whisk cocoa powder and cornstarch in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of milk to the mixture of cocoa powder and cornstarch and mix thoroughly with a whisk or fork so that no lumps remain in the milk. Pour the rest of the milk and Nutella into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir constantly until the Nutella is completely dissolved in the milk. Then add salt and vanilla extract and mix.
Then add the cornstarch, milk, and cocoa powder mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk the pudding until smooth. After about 2 minutes, the pudding starts to thicken. When it reaches the desired concentration, remove the pudding from the heat and pour it into small glass cups. Refrigerate the Nutella pudding for at least 1 hour to cool. Then top it with whipped cream and hazelnuts.
