This triple chocolate custard is a delicious and comforting dessert that is so easy to make and tastes incredible!!! why have one type of chocolate custard when you can have all three?? This is a staple in my house and I hope that you try it too.

Supplies

Ingredients

600ml Full cream milk
6 Egg yolks
100g Caster sugar
50g Cornflour
50g cold unsalted butter (keep it in the fridge until use)
1 Vanilla bean pod (or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste)
pinch of salt
70g white chocolate
70g milk chocolate
70g dark chocolate
Decorations (strawberries, whipping cream, extra chocolate)

Equipment

Whisk
Medium Saucepan
Knife
Small whisk
Microwave
Mixing bowls and spoons
Serving glasses or bowls
Piping bag

Step 1: Heat Milk

In a medium saucepan heat the milk and vanilla bean on medium heat until it lightly simmers. Allow it to cook for a few minutes if there are lumps from the bean sieve them out.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour for a few minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.

Step 3: Mix Together

Once both mixtures are ready pour a few tablespoons of warm milk into the egg mixture and whisk together. Ensure you add small amounts of milk so you don't cook the eggs with too much hot liquid. once it is all added place the custard back onto the heat and then continue to whisk for a few minutes until it thickens. this may take about 3-5 minutes. Then take the custard off the heat, allow it to cool for 5 minutes and whisk in the cold butter.

Step 4: Melt and Add the Chocolate

Melt each of the white, milk and dark chocolates in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Then divide the custard into 3 separate mixing bowls. Then add one chocolate type to each bowl of custard and mix to combine.

Step 5: Pipe Into Serving Bowls

Place each chocolate custard into a piping bag or ziplock plastic bag. Cut the tips off the bag and then pipe the different custards into the serving bowls. I like the gradient of dark chocolate on the bottom, milk chocolate in the middle and white chocolate on top.

To decorate place some whipping cream, a serrated strawberry or grated chocolate, whatever you may want!
