Ingredients

  • 125 ml thick cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 100 gm chocolate bar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp corn flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  • Put the cream, milk and the chocolate into a saucepan. Keep on low flame and stir, till the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated. Do not boil, only heat the mixture.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, blend the egg yolks, sugar, salt, cocoa powder and corn flour till nice and thick. The mixture will double and thicken when the whisks are lifted.
  • Pour half of the hot chocolate mixture while continuing to beat. This will ensure that the eggs blend well and do not get scrambled by the heat.
  • Pour back into the pan and blend again to incorporate. Keep it back on the simmering flame and cook while whisking constantly till thick. Switch off.
  • Divide into six small bowls and tap. Cover the top lightly to avoid skin from forming. Once it is at room temperature, transfer into the fridge and cool for a couple of hours till set.
  • Top with whipped cream and enjoy.
