This is an eggless custard. It can be made up to 2 days in advance, without the garnish. When ready to serve, serve with whipped cream on[ top.] Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup cocoa powder (preferably dutch-processed) |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
1/8 teaspoon (heaping) kosher salt |
4 cups whole milk |
2 cups half-and-half |
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped |
whipped cream, for garnish |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. In a thin stream, pour in the milk whisking until smooth. In a thin stream, add in the half-and-half and whisk until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve or chinois into a saucepan. Over medium heat, whisking the mixture constantly, bring to a boil. Boil gently 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Transfer the custard to a mixing bowl.
3. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes, rest the mixing bowl on top, and add cold water to cover the ice cubes. Let the mixture cool, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, about 15 minutes.
4. Fold in the white chocolate and pour the mixture into 1-cup ramekins, cups or mugs.
5. Refrigerate until well chilled. Serve cold with dollops of whipped cream.
