Chocolate Puddino - Italian Chocolate Pudding (Budino) - Food Wishes

After countless requests, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, I finally decided to do a chocolate pudding video. I also decided to adapt the starch-less, and much more chocolaty Italian method for budino to produce it, which is why the word “puddino” is now part of the language (or at least that’s the plan). Enjoy!

"Your Valentine will be happy and satisfied, at least when it comes to dessert" - shots fired by Chef John !!!!

I love when Chef John says, "a little touch of sugar" then dumps in a cup full of sugar

[BenGilbertForReal]

"I would literally rather not have breakfast." got me good. Big laughs. A delight as always!

Proven unscientific facts are why I came. Chocolate Puddino is why I stayed.

I was busy working on my life and now i stumble again on one of your videos, i remember when i was a broke ass high school student i always watched your videos, literally each and every one of them to vibe up whatever food im having. Now i got a job and a family. Will binge watch again and try your recipes. Thanks Chef John for making my meals memorable.

"....Satisfied...at least when it comes to dessert". Thanks Chef John. At least my partner won't be disappointed twice in an evening.

You are, after all, the Al Pacino of your chocolate budino.

8:52 least when it comes to dessert".

Thats just one of the reasons you are the best food channel on Youtube :)

"A proven, unscientific fact..." You are the best, Chef John.😁
Its the same when you make Ganache. You pour the hot cream over the chocolate and little piece of butter and when you wait and finally begin to stir it looks as though it will never come together. Suddenly, its transformed into a rich, brown, silky pool. A feast for the eyes.

Dear Chef John,
Recently, I’ve been showered by many flashy youtube videos that came to a point where I was no longer seeing youtube suggestions relating to Food Wishes anymore. For heavens, it feels so good to remember my way back into the inspiring curious world of Food Wishes and good old fashion sarcasm. Thanks for keeping up the channel and I do love cooking mainly due to your videos. I just had to gush out my fan boggling here before going on a video splurge to catch up all that I’ve missed!

So I took the time to actually make this for Valentine's Day and it turned out amazing. It was just the two of us so I halved the recipe. Came out absolutely decadent and yes... A little bit goes a long way. I used a mix of raspberry dark chocolate and nice quality dark chocolate chips. The halved recipe makes 3 so we saved one for you chef.

You are the Dan Marino of your Chocolate Puddino.

[misscandle]

Do you ever get tired of being amazing?

[AJTStuff]

I made these today for my honey. Simply ah-maz-ing! Through these videos, Chef John has changed me from a take-out and hotdog cook to someone that can actually cook. Thank you!!!

[shaqtaku]

What I really like about your videos is that you really simplify a lot of techniques while preserving the taste and texture of the original one

[irinadalah]

thanks chef john!! this is exactly what I was looking for. I remembered that one of my dad's friends used to prepare it for us and his kids when we were... h! I said: kids
only, I wanted something lighter, to server with my syruped limes, so I used 1.5 cups milk and only 3/4 cup heavy cream - and that work just fine!
and the "plating" trick at the end was so awesome, I used it!! and with a small syrupy lime slice on top? was devine!
thanks for sharing!!

Can't wait to make this for the wife on Valentine's Day.

Chef John, you are the Elvis of my shattered pelvis. Can't thank you enough, hoss.

I made this yesterday and I just wanted to say:

1. Delicious. 10/10 would recommend.
2. He’s not lying when he says you should pour smaller portions. This is RICH rich!
3. Definitely add the whipped cream. The lightness really helps balance out the richness of the pudding. (I added a pinch of sugar tho)

Thanks for this awesome recipe!

[carleengaliardo]

I have had this at a top local restaurant with the cayenne a more significant factor and it was actually quite interesting! So don’t be afraid to add a little more than a pinch and put a kick in that puddino. You are, after all, the captain of your cayenne! Thanks again, Chef John, for all the great help in the kitchen.

"You are the Patrick Mahomes of your cream based foams"... Priceless!!! Much love to Chef John from Kansas City!
