Ingredients:
- 1 liter of milk
- 200 grams of sugar
- 100 grams of dark chocolate
- 40 grams of cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Preparation:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Temperature: medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until well combined.
- Add the dark chocolate to the simmering milk and stir until melted. Temperature: medium heat.
- Slowly pour the chocolate milk into the bowl with the sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Temperature: low heat. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Once cooled slightly, pour the chocolate custard into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
- Cover the dishes with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate the natillas for at least 2 hours or until set.
- When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and dust the tops of the natillas with cocoa powder.
