   * Method


   1. Step 1

Place the chocolate and custard in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.

This looks great, just the thing I might make to take to a dinner tomorrow. If I can't be bothered going to the shops to buy custard, do you think I could make the EDC one and use the same amount of that?
I might just have a go anyway...

Thanks for sharing your custard Uni. I guess as 750g is 25% more than 600 so would you increase the others by 25% too? I'll try it tmw and maybe increase the cooking by a min or so....

after you make the custard add the chocolate stir at speed 3 until melted and smooth

when cool fold it in to the whipped cream (soft  peaks) and your done .Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge

I licked the bowl and it is delicious! I'll try to post a pic and my little tweak soon. Thanks so much for a yummy recipe...particularly good for those like my DH who love mousse but don't like raw egg
