Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe – How to make an easy chocolate custard 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.

You can enhance the flavor of the custard by adding in a half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of vanilla extract or espresso powder.
