Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

150 gms grated paneer (1 cup)
6 tablespoons milk (¼ cup + 2 tbsp)
1.5 tablespoons cocoa powder + additional for dusting (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
⅓ cup milk chocolate (70 gms)

Instructions

Melt Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, checking and stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning. Once melted, set aside to cool.
Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the grated paneer, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, honey, and the cooled melted chocolate.
Blend Mixture: Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency without any lumps.
Refrigerate: Pour the chocolate-paneer mixture into a serving bowl or individual cups. Place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set properly.
Serve: Just before serving, dust the top of the pudding with a little cocoa powder for garnish and an extra touch of chocolate flavor.

Notes

Use fresh paneer for the best texture and flavor. Homemade or store-bought paneer both work well.
Microwaving chocolate in short increments helps avoid burning, which can cause bitterness.
For a vegan alternative, substitute paneer with silken tofu and honey with maple syrup.
The pudding must be refrigerated to set; do not skip chilling time.
You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
