Step 1: Prepare the ramekins

Brush the aluminum ramekins with a small amount of oil, then use a tissue to wipe off any excess oil, ensuring a thin, even coating.

Step 2: Combine ingredients

In a pan, pour 300 ml of fresh milk. Add 200g of Nutella and 5g of agar-agar powder to the milk.

Step 3: Mix well

Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until the Nutella and agar-agar powder are well combined and dissolved into the milk, forming a smooth mixture.

Step 4: Cook the mixture

Place the pan on a medium flame and cook, continuously whisking, until the mixture reaches a boiling point and thickens to a perfect consistency. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 5: Pour into molds

Carefully pour the hot Nutella mixture into the prepared aluminum ramekins, filling each one evenly.

Step 6: Refrigerate

Place the filled ramekins in the refrigerator and chill until completely set. This will take at least 2 hours.

Step 7: Unmold

Once the puddings are completely set, use a toothpick or a small knife to gently loosen the edges of the pudding from the ramekins. Then, invert each ramekin to release the pudding onto a serving plate.

Step 8: Garnish and serve

Dust the unmolded Nutella puddings with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve for a decorative finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the soft and delicious dessert.

• Lightly grease the ramekins for easier unmolding.

• Whisk continuously while cooking to prevent lumps and ensure even thickening.

• Ensure the pudding is fully set in the refrigerator before attempting to unmold.

• Substitute Nutella with another chocolate hazelnut spread.

• Add a layer of crushed biscuits at the bottom of the ramekins before pouring the mixture.

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for added flavor and texture.
