Ingredients

  • 500 ml Milk (whole milk, room temperature)
  • 80 g Sugar (granulated white sugar)
  • 8 g Vanilla Sugar (vanilla‑flavored sugar, about one packet)
  • 30 g All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 35 g Corn Starch (fine corn starch)
  • 20 g Unsalted Butter (softened, cut into cubes)
  • 20 g Roasted Ground Hazelnuts (toasted and finely ground)
  • 30 g Milk Chocolate (chopped for melting)
  • 10 g Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients

    In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, corn starch, sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture is uniform.

    Time: PT3M

  2. Mix dry ingredients with milk

    Gradually pour the 500 ml milk into the dry mixture while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Heat and thicken

  4. Incorporate butter

    Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Pour into molds

    Quickly pour the hot pudding into three 8 cm glasses (or six 4 cm glasses), filling each about three‑quarters full.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Refrigerate

    Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm.

    Time: PT1H

  7. Prepare toppings

    While the pudding sets, toast the hazelnuts, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30‑second bursts, stirring between bursts, and have the shredded coconut ready.

    Time: PT10M

  8. Assemble and serve

    Remove the set pudding from the fridge, optionally unmold, sprinkle toasted hazelnut crumbs on the sides, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and dust with shredded coconut to resemble snow. Serve immediately.

    Time: PT5M
