Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent it from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the custard into serving glasses or bowls and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Layer
In a small saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to steam (do not boil).
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it melt for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
For extra shine, stir in butter (optional).
3. Assemble the Dessert
Once the custard has cooled, pour the warm chocolate mixture over each serving of custard. Spread evenly with a spoon.
Let the chocolate layer set slightly at room temperature before serving.
Optional Garnishes
Whipped Cream
Shaved Chocolate or Cocoa Powder
Fresh Berries
This chocolate-infused custard is a delicious dessert perfect for any occasion. Enjoy! 🍮🍫
