Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold milk
- 100 grams whipped cream
- 25 grams chocolate shavings
Instructions
Finely chop the dark chocolate and set it aside in a heatproof bowl.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until small bubbles begin to form around the edge, but do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold milk to create a slurry.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine.
Return the chocolate mixture to the saucepan and place it over low heat. Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Divide the chocolate cream evenly into serving dishes or small dessert glasses. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once chilled, top each serving with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Chocolate Cream Dessert!
