Ingredients
- 13.5 fluid ounces full-fat coconut milk
- 4 ounces dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by chopping the dark chocolate into small pieces and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly whisk in the coconut milk, ensuring there are no lumps of dry ingredients.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture while continuously whisking to prevent sticking or burning. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and add in the chopped dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the custard is smooth.
Step 6
Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a single bowl. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer the custard to the refrigerator.
Step 7
Chill for at least 2 hours or until the custard is fully set and cooled.
Step 8
Before serving, you can garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
