Chocolate Custard

Who needs to be an alcoholic when being chocoholic is so much more fun! :-P Okay, okay, I know that was a lame opening line. I got to get better at blogging!

It is no secret that I'm fishing out recipes that are quick to make & taste good too. I came across this recipe and was blown away! It looked so exquisite! And yet, could it be that simple? Well, I tried & found out that it indeed was! It takes about 10 minutes of your time (& 3 hours for the cooling time). And when it is chocolate, need I say anything about the taste? :-D


This easy, yet delicious dessert is sure to win the hearts of those who have the good fortune of tasting it! I urge you all to try this one right away! You wouldn't even want to wait 3 hours for it to set!

Ingredients (makes 1 cup)
Milk - 100 ml
Heavy Cream - 40 ml (around 2 big spoonful) {use normal crem for a less fluffy custard}
Sugar - 20 grams (3-6 tbsp)
Cocoa Powder - 2 teaspoons
Cornflour/starch - 3 teaspoons
Vanilla Essence - 1 teaspoon

Method
1. Take a pan & mix the milk & cream together

2. Separate half the mixture into a bowl. Add the cocoa powder, cornflour & the sugar & mix well.

3. Heat the other half of the milk mixture over medium flame. When it just comes to boil, add the other half (in which cocoa pwd, cornflour & sugar is mixed) to the boiling milk mixture & stir it continuously

6. Add the Vanilla Essence and keep stirring continuously until the mixture is thick & creamy. This should take not more than 1 or 2 minutes.

7. Pour into a bowl/cup. Let it cool down. When it comes to the room temperature, chill it in the freezer for 2.5-3 hours at least.

8. Sprinkle some cocoa powder, chocolate chips (optional) before serving!  ☺ ☻
