Ingredients

6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
2 tablespoons cornstarch sifted
1 teaspoon gelatin unflavored
1 cup cream, half and half
1 cup evaporated milk skim
2/3 cup milk whole
2 each egg yolks jumbo, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional topping
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream whipped
1 tablespoon pistachio nuts blanched, chopped, or 6 candied violets

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and gelatin, pressing out all lumps.

Add the half-and-half, evaporated skim milk and whole milk; whisk vigorously to blend.

Set the pan over moderately low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden, until the mixture just boils and is thickened and smooth, about 10 minutes.

Blend a little of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then stir the warmed egg yolks back into the pan.

Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes.

The mixture must not boil or the eggs will scramble.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Set the saucepan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.

Ladle the mixture into 6 decorative 4-ounce pot de creme cups or white porcelain ramekins and let cool completely.

Cover each cup with plastic wrap, then refrigerate at least 5 hours, or overnight.

Serve as is or top each serving with a little of the whipped cream and either a scattering of chopped pistachios or a single candied violet.

African Squash And Yams (Futari)

Perfectly balanced flavors. Wonderful aroma. I used a 15 oz. can of coconut milk....and added more as the dish simmered.
