Creamy chocolate custard...Mmmm! This recipe makes me think of my mom-it's her kind of comfort food. This is another recipe that can easily be made dairy free and I've done it successfully.

Absolutely delicious. I like my chocolate desserts lightly sweet with a prominent cocoa flavor, so this was PERFECT. My kids loved it. Made a double batch. I added an extra egg since I saw an earlier comment mention it had a loose set. My kids, who hate dark chocolate, both ate this eagerly. I added a scoop of chocolate casein powder (a protein powder), because I also like my custards quite stiff. I will keep this recipe for the rest of my life. This became my new, all-time favorite comfort food.

Can almond milk be substituted for the milk? Also hot?

Mmmmmm!!!! This was the first I ever made custard and it turned out perfect!! It is so delicious! I like it a little sweeter so next time I will add a little more sugar but otherwise it is great!! Will definitely be using this recipe more often. It is very easy to make. No complicated instructions! Just perfect all around!

sorry to say this was not good - at all. it did not set up. eventually i just ended up adding in more eggs - so as not to waste the ingredients.
