Chocolate Dumplings
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Dumpling steamer or large pot with a steaming basket
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
- Shape small dumplings from the dough using a spoon.
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer.
- Place the dumplings in a steamer or a steaming basket over the simmering water.
- Cover and steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
- In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until warm.
- Drizzle warm cream over the steamed dumplings before serving.
- Allow the dumplings to rest for 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
Notes
Ensure the saucepan with water maintains a gentle simmer to avoid overcooking the dumplings, which can make them tough. If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, you can increase the cocoa powder slightly. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste, and consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
