Double Chocolate Pudding Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and thick in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed. On low speed, add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan and, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture. Combine well, then pour the mixture back into the pan.
• Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until thickened. If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat and beat it vigorously with a wire whisk. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until the chocolate and butter are melted.
• Pour into serving bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding, and chill thoroughly.

Steps:

• In a medium pot combine milk and vanilla pudding mix, place over medium heat whisking constantly. Bring to a boil while continuing to whisk the mixture.
• In 3 medium bowls place white, dark and milk chocolate chips. Combine reserved chips together in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
• Remove mixture from the heat and evenly divide the hot pudding over the 3 bowls. Wait 1 minute then whisk the mixture to incorporate and melt the chips into the pudding.
• Set up 3 resealable bags into 3 large glasses so that it will be easy to pour the warm pudding into the bags. Pour the pudding into separate bags. Tie the bags closed with a twist tie. Place pudding into the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until pudding is chilled and set.
• Cut off the corner of each bag. Pipe each of the pudding mixtures evenly into 6 champagne glasses starting with the dark chocolate, white chocolate and ending with milk chocolate.
• Garnish with reserved chocolate chips.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Spoon half of the pudding into four parfait glasses. Top each with 3 tablespoons pie filling and 2 tablespoons granola. Repeat layers. Garnish with whipped topping if desired.

Steps:

• Heat heavy cream, sugar, and milk in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir chopped chocolate into warm cream mixture using a wire whisk until smooth and chocolate has melted completely. Whisk eggs and vanilla extract into mixture gradually until well combined.
• Place French bread into the bottom of a shallow 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish. Pour chocolate mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Remove pudding from the refrigerator, uncover, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until set, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool 10 minutes before serving warm, or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.
