This recipe combines the rich flavor of chocolate with the natural sweetness of honey-infused strawberries, creating a delightful treat that's sure to please everyone at the table.
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the corn flour, brown sugar, and dry cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
2. Gradually whisk in the 1/3 cup milk to form a smooth paste. This will help prevent lumps when you cook the mixture.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the additional 2 cups of milk over medium heat. When the milk is warm but not boiling, gradually pour in the corn flour mixture, whisking continuously.
4. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. As the custard begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent any sticking or burning.
5. Once the custard has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat.
6. Divide the custard evenly among serving dishes or ramekins and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
1. While the custard is setting in the refrigerator, prepare the strawberries.
2. In a small bowl, combine the hulled and halved strawberries with the honey. Toss gently to ensure the strawberries are evenly coated with honey.
3. Cover and let the strawberries sit for at least 15 minutes, allowing them to macerate.
1. Once the chocolate custards are fully set and chilled, remove them from the refrigerator.
2. Top each custard with a generous spoonful of honey strawberries.
3. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, egg-free chocolate custards paired with the sweet and tangy honey strawberries.
Tips:
- Make sure to continuously whisk the milk mixture while cooking to avoid any lumps in the custard.
