This recipe was inspired by another recipe here on Cookpad called "Best HOMEMADE Banana Pudding." I made a smaller portion that makes a nice dessert for two people, and changed up the flavors. This is not too sweet so it's like a bowl of delicious dark chocolate ;) You can easily double if you want extra portions for guests or for the next day.

I call it "easy" because usually with traditional pudding you separate the egg yolks and whites, but only use the yolks, and it requires you to mix things separately instead of in one pot. The down side to this recipe is that the pudding ends up a little "grainy" because of the egg whites, unless you remove it from the heat right away in step 2.

Steps

30 mins

1

Mix the egg and sugar in a medium pot or saucepan.
2

Add milk and sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Sifting helps keep the clumps out. On low-medium heat, bring the pudding to a simmer, whisking constantly so it doesn't clump up. When it comes to a boil, immediately remove from heat for a very saucy pudding or let it simmer for a minute for a thicker pudding.
3

Continue to stir the pudding after removing from heat, then transfer to another bowl to cool.
4

Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan (no oil) until starting to brown on some sides. Put into a bowl to let cool, then crush or crumble up.
5

Cut cherries in half and remove pits.
6

Once the pudding has cooled somewhat, you can set up your layers. I started with a layer of cherries and hazelnuts on the bottom of two small bowls...
7

Then added some of the pudding and another layer of cherries and hazelnuts...
8

And on top a final layer of pudding and a couple cherries and hazelnuts for decoration. Cover with plastic and let chill. Enjoy!
