Ingredients:

For the Custard Layer:

  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Custard Layer:
    • In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of cornstarch and 6 egg yolks until smooth.
    • Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
    • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
    • Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
    • Pour the custard into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the layers are set.
