How to Make Rich Chocolate Baked Custard
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish or four 6-ounce ramekins.
- Fill a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 inch of hot water. This creates a water bath for even baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until just combined. Do not overbeat.
- Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the hot milk, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. This removes any lumps and ensures a smoother texture.
- Carefully place the baking dish or ramekins into the prepared water bath in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The custard should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath. The custard will continue to set as it cools.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings (optional).
