How to Make Rich Chocolate Baked Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish or four 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. Fill a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 inch of hot water. This creates a water bath for even baking.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until just combined. Do not overbeat.
  4. Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. This removes any lumps and ensures a smoother texture.
  8. Carefully place the baking dish or ramekins into the prepared water bath in the preheated oven.
  9. 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.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath. The custard will continue to set as it cools.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings (optional).
