This Easy Chocolate Custard recipe is a simple and delightful treat that combines the richness of chocolate with the smoothness of custard. It is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion with loved ones.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
  3. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chocolate chips until fully melted.
  5. Pour the custard into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Serve chilled with whipped cream or fresh berries on top.
