Instructions
Chocolate pudding
Prepare silicone molds on a tray. You can use any shape, for example a mini tiered cake mold.
Whisk all the ingredients together in a pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 20 seconds.
Pour the pudding straight into the molds.
Place some plastic wrap on the surfaces of the puddings to prevent a skin from forming on them.
Let the puddings cool down and then refrigerate until cold.
Strawberry syrup
Boil the sugar and strawberries for a few minutes. Do not press on the strawberries!
Strain the syrup and set it aside to cool.
Transfer it to a squeeze bottle with a small tip and refrigerate.
Assembly
Whip the cream to soft peaks.
Unmold the puddings onto the plates.
Pipe the syrup onto the plates.
Put the whipping cream in a piping bag with a star tip and pipe it around the puddings.
Cut the strawberries into quarters and stand them up on the plate and on top of the pudding.
