Step 1

Detailed Instructions Mix the dry ingredients: Mix the granulated sugar, cornflour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium pot that is off the burner. To avoid lumps of cocoa or cornflour later on, it is essential to whisk these dry ingredients first.

Step 2

To add dairy: Slowly pour whole milk and heavy cream into a saucepan, stirring constantly. Continue whisking until the mixture is entirely smooth and the dry ingredients have dissolved.

Step 3

Temper the Egg Yolks: Beat the egg yolks gently in a different small basin. Pour roughly ½ cup of the saucepan's milk mixture into the yolks gradually while whisking constantly. In order to prevent the eggs from scrambling when put to the hot pot, this procedure, known as tempering, gradually elevates their temperature. Refill the pot with the tempered yolk mixture.

Step 4

To cook the custard: Set the saucepan over medium heat. Using a whisk or silicone spatula, stir continuously, scraping the pan's corners and bottom to avoid burning. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and starts to softly boil. When the custard coats the back of a spoon and maintains a distinct line when you run your finger through it, it is ready.

Step 5

The Chocolate & Butter: Take the saucepan off of the burner and add the chocolate and butter. Add the tablespoon of butter (if using), vanilla essence, and finely chopped dark chocolate right away. After allowing the chocolate to melt for a minute, carefully stir until the mixture is uniformly smooth and shiny.

Step 6

Portion and Chill: Evenly distribute the custard among your ramekins or serving glasses. Put a piece of plastic wrap immediately on each custard's surface to stop a skin from developing. Refrigerate until completely cooled and set, at least four hours.

Step 7

Serve: Take off the plastic wrap when it's time to serve. For a burst of colour and freshness, sprinkle some chocolate shavings, a hefty dollop of whipped cream, and a few fresh berries on top.
