Toblerone Pudding With Almond Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 x 4 oz package cook and serve chocolate pudding powder
1/2 cup sugar + 1 tbsp
2 1/2 cups whole milk
3.5 oz Toblerone, coarsely chopped
2 tsp vanilla extract
3.5 oz toasted almonds, chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Mix the chocolate pudding powder with the 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 cup milk. Bring the remaining milk to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate pudding powder and milk mixture. Return to a boil and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the Toblerone. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool to room temperature.
For the brittle, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Reduce heat and stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved and caramelized. Stir in the almonds. Turn out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside to harden. Break into small pieces.
Just before serving, whip the cream with the remaining vanilla extract. Layer into a serving dish with the pudding mixture and almond brittle.
