Ingredients
Method
1.Lightly grease six 1/2-cup heatproof ramekins.
2.Combine milk, cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium until almost to the boil, but do not boil (this is known as “scalding”).
3.In a bowl, heat eggs, yolks, sugar and cornflour together. Gradually whisk in milk mixture.
4.Return mixture to clean saucepan. Cook over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to the boil and thickens. Simmer for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in chocolate until well combined and mixture is smooth.
5.Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent a skin forming. Chill overnight.
6.Just before serving, sprinkle extra sugar evenly over custards. Place under hot grill for 3-4 minutes (or use a culinary blowtorch), until melted and golden.
MAKES 6 Freeze leftover egg whites and use later to make meringues or pavlova. Remember to note on the label how many whites you have.
