03 Method

Step 1

In a medium pot, warm the milk over medium heat with the chocolate, malted milk powder and granulated sugar (stirring so that the sugar dissolves) until gently steaming.
Step 2

Place the cornstarch into a small bowl and pour in some of the hot milk mixtures. Stir together to get a slurry then pour this into the pot and return to the heat. Keep stirring over medium-low heat until thickened then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3

Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature before covering and chilling until completely cold. (this is the chocolate pudding).
Step 4

Once the pudding has cooled, place the softened butter into a large bowl. Cream the butter together with the cocoa powder and salt until smooth and slightly fluffy.
Step 5

Gradually stir in spoonfuls of the cold pudding, beating well between additions to incorporate it fully, until you have a smooth, spreadable frosting (you may not need all of the pudding).
