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