Chocolate and coconut custards

Indulge in the rich and creamy goodness of Chocolate and Coconut Custards, a delightful dessert that combines the luxurious taste of dark chocolate with the exotic and nutty flavor of coconut. This easy-to-follow recipe uses simple ingredients to create a delectable treat that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
3 eggs
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Heat Milk and Dissolve Sugar:
In a medium saucepan, pour the 2 cups of milk. Add the 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and the milk is warm (do not bring it to a boil).
3. Melt Chocolate:
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and immediately add the dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Prepare Coconut Mixture:
Stir in the grated or finely shredded dried coconut meat into the chocolate mixture. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to hydrate the coconut slightly.
5. Beat Eggs:
In a separate bowl, crack the 3 eggs and beat them until well blended.
6. Combine Mixtures:
Gradually add the warm chocolate-coconut mixture to the beaten eggs while continuously whisking. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
7. Strain (Optional):
For an extra smooth custard, you may strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any bits.
8. Pour into Ramekins:
Divide the custard mixture evenly into ramekins or oven-safe custard cups.
9. Prepare Water Bath:
Place the filled ramekins in a baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath helps the custard cook evenly and prevents cracking.
10. Bake:
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
11. Cool:
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool on a wire rack. Once they reach room temperature, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
12. Serve:
Before serving, you can garnish the custards with additional shredded coconut, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the ramekins.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

- To avoid overcooking, check the custards a few minutes before the suggested baking time.

- Chill the custards in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra touch.

Once baked to perfection, these Chocolate and Coconut Custards offer a delightful contrast of creamy custard with a hint of tropical coconut. This timeless dessert can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh fruit for an added burst of flavor. Follow these tips and instructions to create a dessert that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds.
