Budino is an Italian-style pudding that is made in a variety of flavors. This version uses cocoa powder and coffee to create a lush mocha version. Oreo cookies give it a sweet, crunchy topping.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup high quality cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon high quality instant coffee
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 Oreo cookies
sweetened whipped cream
ground cinnamon
Whisk together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, instant coffee and salt in a medium saucepan. Add milk and cream, whisking to combine.
Place the pan over a medium flame. Whisk constantly for the next 10-15 minutes. The mixture will start to bubble slightly. Whisk for 30 seconds after the bubbling starts. Remove pan from heat. Stir in vanilla.
Pour into individual clear glass (8 ounce size) juice cups, coming half way up the sides. Cover the juice cups and refrigerate for at least one hour until chilled and set.
To serve, crush Oreos and divide among cups. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Pudding can be made up to a week in advance. Add Oreos and top with whipped cream only when ready to serve.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
