Another gorgeous recipe made using Mortimer Chocolate Powder

*For a dairy-free recipe, replace the milk with a milk alternative - Provamel Rice Original works successfully.

Method

Bring the milk to the boil and remove from the heat.

In a large mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick. Whisk in the cornflour.

Whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture and pour back into the pan. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens. Keep stirring on the heat for a further minute to ensure the cornflour has cooked out.

Beat in the dark chocolate powder.

Remove from the heat and place a piece of cling film over the surface to prevent a skin forming. When cool, store in the fridge.
