With the chocolate pastry cream recipe, you will prepare a cream that looks shiny, tastes irresistible, and is also quite practical.
Ingredients
- 2,5 cups milk
- 1 dessert spoon cocoa
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (heaping) corn starch
- 2 pieces medium sized egg
- 60 g dark chocolate
Preparation
- Put the milk in a medium-sized pot or sauce pan. Add one-fourth of the sugar and the cocoa into it, mix, and cook over medium heat until it reaches the boiling point.
- While the milk is boiling, whisk the remaining sugar, starch and eggs in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the boiling milk to the egg mixture little by little and stir, thus balancing the temperatures.
- Put the mixture back into the pot and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. When you see it thickening, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and cook for 3 minutes without stopping to stir.
- Remove the pastry cream from the stove, add the dark chocolate into it, and whisk until it melts.
- Transfer the pastry cream to a glass bowl and cover it with cling film so that it touches the surface. Let it rest in the refrigerator for first at room temperature 2 hours then 3.
- Before using the cooled pastry cream, you can whip it with a mixer to return it to its original soft state and use it in your desired desserts.
