This Easy Chocolate Custard Recipe is quick to prepare and makes a decadent, chocolatey sweet treat that’s perfect to enjoy warm and comforting or chilled and creamy.
Fans of chocolaty desserts will love this chocolate version instead of a regular custard when you’re craving simple sweet treats.
The new recipe is really straightforward, you don’t need to fiddle with a water bath, separating eggs or using a double boiler, you only follow a few basic steps to create a special treat.
I like to get all the ingredients measured out, chopped and whisked ahead of time so that as soon as the milk and cream is heated, everything is ready and waiting to be whisked together.
Ingredients You’ll Need
You’ll only need a few basic ingredients to create the smooth custard.
Milk – depending on your tastes and dietary requirements you can use regular whole milk, coconut milk, almond milk or any mixture of milk you like.
Cream – use heavy cream, whipping cream, coconut cream or any other cream alternative to provide a rich, creaminess to the dessert.
Sugar – you can use powdered sugar, regular sugar, stevia or your sugar or sweetener alternative of choice. Include more sugar if you’d like a sweeter dessert.
Cocoa Powder – to infuse the flavor of chocolate into the dessert, both cocoa powder and chocolate is used.
Eggs – whole eggs are whisked straight into the dessert, so there’s no need to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
Butter – chopped butter is added to create the best results in the creamy and rich custard.
Chocolate – chopped chocolate is added for a rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture.
You can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate in the chocolate mixture. If you’d prefer not to chop chocolate, then you can use chocolate chips instead.

Beat eggs and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until combined; set aside. Whisk milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, brandy, and salt together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
In a jug, mix the egg yolks, cornflour, sugar and vanilla extract. Pour the hot cream/ milk over the egg mixture, slowly, whilst stirring constantly, then pour back into the pan and heat gently while stirring with the whist, until thick and creamy.
The first option is to mix two tablespoons of flour with four tablespoons of cold water for every cup of custard you've made. Mix the flour into the water well, then whisk it into your custard mixture as it cooks on the stove. You can follow the same steps with cornstarch instead of flour if you prefer as well.
There are three types of custard: baked, stirred, and frozen. Baked custards include bread pudding, flan, and cheesecake, and are prepared by baking in an oven or water bath. Boiled Custards include beverages like eggnog. Puddings, creme anglaise (krem on-GLAYZ), and pastry cream are some examples of stirred custards.
While most custard and pudding recipes both typically call for eggs, the main difference is that pudding uses a starch for thickening, whereas custard's thickening agent is the egg itself (or egg yolk, in most instances). Custard's texture also tends to be firmer than pudding.
The most common mistake people make with custards is that they tend to overcook them. Custards need to come out of the oven just before they're completely cooked because they will continue baking even after you take them out of the oven.
The most common mistake people make in baking a custard is not putting enough water in the hot-water bath. The water should come up to the level of the custard inside the cups. You must protect your custard from the heat.
Custards are of two types: stirred and baked. Both types create a rich, smooth sauce served warm or cold. Baked custards are prepared with whole eggs and are cooked in an oven with water surrounding its dish. Stirred custards contain egg yolks and are cooked on the stovetop, often in a bowl over water.
Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Stirring distributes the heat so the custard doesn't become too hot, which can curdle it. Draw a finger across the back of the spoon and if it leaves a trail, your custard is ready.
Mix flour and cold water well, making sure the mixture is smooth. For 1 cup (240 mL) of custard, use 2 tablespoons (17 g) of flour mixed with 4 tablespoons (59 mL) of cold water. Add the mixture into your custard ingredients as they cook on the stove. Use cornstarch as an alternative to flour.
Heat the custard base, over medium heat, while whisking vigorously until it starts to thicken – this should take about 1 – 2 minutes depending on the heat of your stove and size of your saucepan.
Crème caramel – Custard dessert with soft caramel on top, also known as flan, caramel custard, egg pudding or caramel pudding. Cremeschnitte – Puff pastry dessert. Custard pie – Pastry container with a sweet egg mixture. Custard tart – Baked dessert consisting of an egg custard-filled pastry crust.
Custard primarily relies on eggs and dairy, while pudding uses milk or cream, sugar, and a starch thickener like cornstarch or tapioca. Custard tends to be smoother and more velvety due to the egg content, whereas pudding has a thicker, more gelatinous consistency because of the added starch.
Brands vary, but vanilla ice-cream typically has about 10 per cent more calories than custard, as well as twice the saturated fat, less protein and half the calcium and potassium. However, ice-cream usually has less sugar and salt, too.
Custard is a decadent dessert made with eggs, milk, and sugar. Eggs are responsible for custard's thick and velvety texture, but some recipes (such as this one) call for thickeners such as cornstarch or arrowroot for extra richess.

Custard is generally referred to as a dessert or sweet sauce made with milk, eggs, and sugar. Custard is a variety of culinary preparations, based on cooked mixture of milk (cream) and egg yolk.
The main difference between frozen custard and ice cream is that frozen custard is made with egg yolks and ice cream is not, giving the former a richer flavor and mouthfeel. Some ice creams are made with egg yolks, however, which would technically make them custards based on the USDA guidelines.
