    • Bring the pot on the heat, set it on low, and stir continuously until the liquid thickens into a creamy custard. It can take between 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the quantities.

    • When you have almost reached the consistency that you like, take off the heat and keep stirring for another minute.
      Now add the dark chocolate in pieces and let it melt with the residual heat of the custard while stirring.

    • Once the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated your custard is ready.
      TIP: The custard will keep thickening while off the heat. Keep this in mind and turn off the heat slightly before you reach your desired thickness.

    • TIP: to check if your custard is ready take a wooden or silicone spatula, dip it in the custard, then run a finger through it. If the spatula stays clean, the custard is ready.

    👨🏻‍🍳 Tips

    chocolate custard
    • Learn the basics of vegan custard: if you want to learn more about how to make the perfect vegan custard, check out our full vegan custard guide. Vegan custard is easy to make and as delicious as regular custard.
    • Dark chocolate: you'll get the best result if you dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa. If you can afford it choose fair trade, organic chocolate, to help the chocolate farmers.
    • Add the chocolate at the end: chocolate is a delicate ingredient that should not be heated too much. That's why we add it at the end, off the heat.
    • Cool down bain-marie: if you are making your custard in advance, the best way to cool it down is bain-marie, to prevent the thin skin layer on top.

    🥫 Storage

    chocolate custard creaminess test

    You can store this vegan chocolate custard in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Let it cool down then cover it with reusable wrap and make sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a thin crust from forming. You can reheat the custard on low heat by adding a dash of plant milk while stirring.

    We do not recommend freezing the custard, unless you want to make ice cream out of it.

    It is possible that during the cooling process the custard will dry out on the surface and make a thin skin that will result in annoying lumps. If you are annoyed by the lumps then you can always blend the custard with a hand blender. We tried and it works.

    🍜 Variations
