Chocolate Pudding Parfaits

Everyday with RR. This one's for my hunny.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 8  ounces  semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 -3  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
• 3  cups half-and-half
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1  large egg, plus
• 2  egg yolks
• 1  cup heavy cream, whipped
• 8  Oreo cookies, chopped

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate and cocoa powder and set aside.
2. In a medium, heavy saucepan, heat the half-and-half over medium-high heat until almost boiling (bubbles will form around the edges).
3. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
4. Slowly whisk half of the hot half-and-half into the egg mixture and then pour the mixture into the saucepan.
5. Bring just to a boil over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until bubbly and thickened, 1 minute.
6. Pour the custard through a sieve into the reserved chocolate-cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth.
7. Let cool slightly then press plastic wrap onto the surface to cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
8. Scoop the chocolate pudding into individual cups and top with the whipped cream and cookies.
