Baileys Chocolate Pudding with Baileys Whipped Cream

With a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream sitting on my counter top, I came across this recipe.  I still have leftover cocoa powder and chocolate, so grab a box of Tatua Whipping Cream, and there it is... whipped up this sweet dessert.  

 Ingredients:

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 tbsp. cornflour

A small pinch of salt (not in the pic below)

1/3 cup Whipping Cream (not in the pic below)

1 small egg yolk

1/2 cup whole milk

1 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

2 tbsp. Baileys Irish cream

Whipped cream:

1/2 cup Whipping Cream

1/2 tbsp. Baileys Irish cream

1 1/2 tbsp. powdered sugar

Methods:

1. In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa powder, cornflour and salt.  
2. In another bowl, whisk together whipping cream and egg yolk, then pour into cocoa mixture in (1), mixing with a whisk until smooth and thick.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and sugar. Whisk gently to dissolve sugar.  When bubbles form along the edge of the pan, remove from heat and whisk in cocoa mixture until smooth.
4. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.  When large bubbles form, remove from heat, stir in chocolate, vanilla and Baileys.  Whisk until completely smooth.
5. Divide between serving glasses. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
6. For the whipped cream, in a medium bowl beat together whipping cream, Baileys and powdered sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form.  Pipe or spoon onto chilled pudding cups.
7. Serve with optional chocolate shavings and other preference.
8. Enjoy....

Since I love more whipped cream, I added more over the pudding.

I adapted this recipe from 'bakedbyrachel.com' with slight adjustments to suit my preference.
