Espresso Chocolate Budino
Servings 5
Ingredients
- – 5 large egg yolks
- – 2 cups heavy cream
- – 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- – 1/4 tsp salt
- – 3 tbsp ground coffee or instant coffee
- – 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
**Optional Garnish:**
- – Whipped cream
- – Coffee beans
Instructions
**Step 1:**
- In a pot, whisk together the egg yolks. Pour in the cream and whisk until well combined. Add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and espresso, and whisk again. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5-8 minutes. Once it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and doesn’t move, remove it from the heat. Make sure to do this over medium heat, not high, to avoid scrambling the eggs. Turn off the heat once it’s thickened.
**Step 2:**
- Whisk in the chocolate chips until they’re fully combined.
**Step 3:**
- Take it out of the fridge and serve with homemade whipped cream and a few coffee beans on top for garnish.
