Pudding with dark chocolate, cherries and hint of cinnamon

Sometimes (especially on a rainy day) there is nothing better than a chocolate pudding. This one is special, because it is made with real dark chocolate with cinnamon cherries.

Slightly different that traditional one, because it is steamed.



Ingredients (make 5 portions)
3 cups milk
1 dark chocolate bar
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp cocoa
1/3 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 tbsp vodka (or other alcohol)
Pinch salt
1 cup frozen cherries
2 tbsp sugar
¼ cup water + 1 tbsp
1 teaspoon potato flour
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Method
Cherries: in a pot cook for a few minutes water, cherries, cinnamon and sugar. Whisk flour with 1 tbsp cold water. Pour in into the cherry mixture, well combine. When the sauce gets thick take off from the heat. Cool it down.

Pudding: In a metal bowl whisk starch, sugar and salt with milk. Steamed over the pot with boiling water. Stir from time to time until the pudding gets thick (about 20 min.). Add chocolate, vanilla and vodka, stir in the cocoa. Stir for another few minutes until all ingredients well combined. In a bowl put some cherries and pour in warm pudding. Before serving put the rest of the cherries on top of puddings.
