Chocolate custard and chocolate icing?

toffee65

I use drinking chocolate, the type that you use with milk just as if I was making a hotchoclate drink in the pan and then mix a teaspoon of cornflour at a time with a touch of cold milk and add to thicken. Use more if you want a thicker custard. This taste just like what we used to have in school as kids.

I have done a quick search but can't find anything. I know its not the healthiest but I have been given a chocolate cake which I am going to turn into a choc pudding for after tea tonight, I want to make some choc custard to go with it instead of ordinary custard, can anyone tell me how you make it?

Hi Millie

There is a chocolate custard thread here or a chocolate sauce thread here

Do let us know how you get on, I am drooling at the thought!:j

I'll merge this with the first link later

Also - I searched but couldn't find anything will help you be able to find it yourself in seconds. It's easy when you know how

thanks:A

That reminds me of a funny story, when my DS1 was 3 his nursery made them cooked lunches, and we would always ask what he'd had when he came home. One day he flummoxed us with Chocolate Soup. No, son, you can't get such a thing as chocolate soup. He was very insistent to the point of being quite teary. In the end, gran realised what he meant, it was of course chocolate custard, which is now always chocci soup in our house!

I just add a bit of cocoa powder to my normal custard, always tastes ok.

I never got on very well with the cocoa powder/custard powder mix, so instead take some squares of dark chocolate & melt them in the custard powder mix on the stove
