Ingredients You’ll Need
Alright, here’s what you need to gather for this dreamy dessert:
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (make sure they’re dairy-free)
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey (depending on your sweetness preference)
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now, it’s time to bring this custard to life. Follow these steps and watch the magic happen:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, dark chocolate chips, and sea salt over medium heat. Stir it gently until the chocolate melts, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, maple syrup, and cornstarch until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Once the chocolate mixture is hot (but not boiling), slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This technique is called tempering and will help prevent your eggs from scrambling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes, so be patient!
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or one large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
