Budino Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Chocolate and Mixture

    Gradually add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Pour the mixture into ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.

  5. 5

    Bake the Budino

    Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water (water bath) and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly wobbly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Refrigerate

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

  7. 7

    Serve with Toppings

    Before serving, sprinkle with cocoa nibs and drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
