Side Pannel
Chocolate Silk
Ingredients List
- 6 tb Sugar
- 1/4 c Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tb Sifted Cornstarch
- 1 ts Unflavored Gelatin
- 1 c Half-and-Half
- 1 c Evaporated Skim Milk
- 2/3 c Whole Milk
- 2 Jumbo Egg Yolks
- - lightly beaten
- 2 ts Vanilla Extract
Directions
OPTIONAL TOPPING
1/4 c Heavy Cream; whipped
1 tb Chopped blanched Pistachios
- OR -
6 Candied Violets
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 crÅ me 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.
