Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe – How to make a rich no-bake dessert with cocoa powder, chocolate, cream and a few more simple ingredients – with the video tutorial.

Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe

This Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe is quick to prepare and makes a decadent, chocolatey sweet treat that’s perfect to enjoy warm and comforting or chilled and creamy.

Fans of chocolaty desserts will love this chocolate version instead of a regular custard when you’re craving simple sweet treats.

The new recipe is really straightforward, you don’t need to fiddle with a water bath, separating eggs or using a double boiler, you only follow a few basic steps to create a special treat.

I like to get all the ingredients measured out, chopped and whisked ahead of time so that as soon as the milk and cream is heated, everything is ready and waiting to be whisked together.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll only need a few basic ingredients to create the smooth custard. 

Milk – depending on your tastes and dietary requirements you can use regular whole milk, coconut milk, almond milk or any mixture of milk you like.

Cream – use heavy cream, whipping cream, coconut cream or any other cream alternative to provide a rich, creaminess to the dessert.

Sugar – you can use powdered sugar, regular sugar, stevia or your sugar or sweetener alternative of choice. Include more sugar if you’d like a sweeter dessert.

Cocoa Powder – to infuse the flavor of chocolate into the dessert, both cocoa powder and chocolate is used.

Eggs – whole eggs are whisked straight into the dessert, so there’s no need to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.

Butter – chopped butter is added to create the best results in the creamy and rich custard.

Chocolate – chopped chocolate is added for a rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture.

You can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate in the chocolate mixture.

If you’d prefer not to chop chocolate, then you can use chocolate chips instead and quickly achieve a deep chocolate flavor.

If you’d like to make a keto chocolate custard, then here are the best keto chocolate bar brands to choose from.

You can enhance the flavor of the creamy custard by adding in a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract or espresso powder or a pinch of salt to the warm chocolate mixture.

Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe

• 1 Cup Milk
• 1/2 Cup Cream
• 2 Tablespoons White Sugar or Stevia
• 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
• 2 Eggs
• 50g/2 ounces Unsalted Butter, chopped
• 50g/2 ounces Chocolate, chopped

1. Pour the milk and cream into a small saucepan.
2. Place on the stove top over a low heat and warm until heated but not simmering just yet.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine together the sugar or stevia, cocoa powder and eggs.
4. Whisk the heated milk into the egg mixture.
5. Add the chopped butter and chocolate into the whisked cream and egg mixture.
6. Whisk well to combine.
7. Clean out the small saucepan and pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
8. Place back on the stove top over low heat and gently bring up to a simmer, whisking continuously until the dessert has thickened.
9. Remove the chocolate pudding from heat and enjoy warm or cool to room temperature, cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap, store in the fridge and enjoy chilled.

You can enjoy the creamy chocolate custard as an indulgent treat on it’s own, or use the chilled, thickened custard in place of chocolate icing on a chocolate cake or sponge cake dessert.
