Ingredients
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and almond milk over medium heat. Whisk to blend them together.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and cornstarch together to break down any lumps.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to ensure smoothness.
Step 4
Pour in the maple syrup and add the pinch of salt. Continue to whisk the mixture frequently.
Step 5
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and add to the saucepan. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Once the mixture thickens and starts to bubble gently, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2 minutes while continuously stirring.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Pour the chocolate custard into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
Step 9
Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 10
Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 11
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
