Description
This chocolate custard recipe is made with a combination of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and egg yolks to create a rich and creamy custard. The custard is cooked on the stovetop until it thickens and then cooled until it’s ready to be used. The finished custard is smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
For this chocolate custard recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the chocolate custard, begin by combining the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate has melted. Then, slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to combine.
Once all of the milk has been added, increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes until the custard has thickened. Then, remove the pan from the heat.
Next, slowly pour the hot custard into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly to combine. Return the custard to the saucepan and cook over low heat for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Then, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Finally, pour the custard into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard. Refrigerate the custard for at least 4 hours or overnight until it is chilled and firm.
