Ingredients:

  • For the Custard:
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt
  • For the Chocolate Chip Mixture:
    • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Optional Garnish:
    • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
    • A sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Custard Base:
    • In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
    • While the milk is heating, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, and salt in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined.
    • Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while continuously whisking to avoid curdling the eggs.
    • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly. As the custard heats up, it will thicken. Continue to cook until it reaches a smooth, pudding-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
    • Once thickened, remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Incorporate the Chocolate Chips:
    • Allow the custard to cool slightly before adding the chocolate chips. Stir the chocolate chips into the custard, letting the residual heat melt them into the mixture. For an extra creamy texture, you can add a tablespoon of butter at this stage, stirring until fully melted.
  3. Chill and Set:
    • Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours. This helps the pudding to firm up and enhances its flavor.
  4. Serve:
    • Once the pudding is set, garnish with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate for an extra touch of indulgence.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful mix of creamy custard and gooey chocolate chips!
