How to Make Spiced Chocolate Bavarian Cream
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until pale and smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until fully combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate (ensure it's finely chopped to melt quickly and evenly).
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. This will ensure a super-smooth texture.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to fully chill and set.
- Once chilled, spoon into elegant serving glasses or use as a filling for cream puffs. Garnish as desired (whipped cream, chocolate shavings, etc.).
