Chocolate pudding tart- recipe by Ina garten” How easy is that”.
This simple yet sophisticated dessert is a chocolate pudding poured in a graham cracker crust which is set in a tart pan. The chocolate pudding is smooth and decadently rich, which gets its deep chocolate flavor thanks to the good bittersweet chocolate, Kahlua liqueur and coffee. This dessert is sure to please every chocolate lover!
I wanted to end 2011 and start 2012 on a sweet note by sharing one of my favorite dessert recipe’s by wishing you all a very Happy Year. Hope this New Year brings lots of peace, prosperity and happiness to all.
For the crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (14 graham crackers crushed in a food processor until finely ground)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
5 extra-large egg yolks
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
7 ounces good bittersweetchocolate, such as Lindt, broken
2 tablespoons(1/4 stick) unsalted butter, diced
1 tablesppon Kahlua liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder, such as nescafe Clasico
Sweetened whipped cream-Place 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat until it forms firm peaks.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the graham crackers, sugar, and butter in a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Lightly press the mixture into an 11-inch metal tart pan with removable sides. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until almost simmering.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch,and salt.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the milk into the bowl.
Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick.
Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, Kahlua , and coffee. Beat with a whisk until smooth.
Pour into the cooled crust.
Place the plastic wrap directly on the chocolate filling and chill the tart for 6 hours, until cold. Decorate with whipped cream and shaved chocolate and serve cold.

Wow if I cook all these I shall explode……..never mind still I shall try…….plz give low cal stuff too
Hi Anjali,
Please do try it out and keep me posted on how it turns out. Maybe you can use low fat milk instead of the heavy milk in the pudding. But frankly you won’t get that rich creamy taste.
I will try and work on some low calorie recipes.
I shall try this one too …….thanks
Asmita, you are gifted! You really inspire me to try baking, although I must admit I am intimidated by it.
Hi Priyanka,
Thanks so much for the lovely compliment. Please don’t get intimidated with baking. Unlike cooking, baking is about following the recipe to the T and it will be a hit. All the best for the New year.

Wonderful, yummy and tempting desert. Lovely presentation.
Thanks Urmi.
Un amour de tarte remplie de saveurs gourmandes et de douceurs chocolatées…
I love her punch line: “How easy is that”. It’s kind of ironic because some of her recipes really aren’t that easy. But don’t get me wrong, Ina’s cool. Gorgeous pie! I can’t imagine how delicious it must have been.
Thank you Kyleen,
This is the best pie I have eaten so far! Really creamy and rich and the graham cracker crust almost tastes like toffee. It’s a complete diet crusher. Cannot stop at one bite.
Now this a the ultimate chocolate pie wow!
Thanks Claudia.
