I made these last night and served them in coffee liquer glasses.  Made 4 nice size serves.

It was very light, not too rich, so quite refreshing.  Would be nice to try with some liquer added, or a chocolate version would be nice too.

Very easy recipe.  Made it at about 5pm and it was ready for dessert at about 8:30 so good timing.

The chocolate version crossed my mind too Cathy, it would also help to thicken it up a little as it gets cold.  Some dulce de lechy added for a caramel one too - another versatile recipe from isi.

I made a mocha (chocolate & coffee) version last night & everyone loved it. My boys have requested a straight chocolate version to compare. Lovely easy recipe Isi- Thank you ;D ;D ;D

I halved the total recipe (so they would be very small serves -dieting!!) but accidently added the full tablespoon of coffee so just added a tablespoon of good quality drinking chocolate.

Hmm, that sounds good.  And a plain chocolate version would also be suitable for little kids.  Will have to try.

I was thinking along the lines of blitzing some chocolate to start with then adding that instead of the coffee later. When it sets it may have a slightly less wobbly appearance (?)

Today I will try 100% chocolate version!
I will use chocolate bar with 70% cocoa (very dark) - spray-speed 10 - maybe 20 grams!?!
I tell you about the results!

I made the chocolate version this morning and had one for dessert tonight.  I only had a mixture of milk & white chocolate in the house so used both (only 70g) and used 15g cornflour.  It was really nice, tasted different of course but looked just like the original one and wobbled just the same. Obviously you have to use a lot more chocolate to stop the wobble but I am beginning to like it so am not going to play around with it much more.

This is so funny!

I'm here taking my breakfast when you talk about the dinner you had!

So you think I have to put 70 grams of chocolate to be perfect???

It's up to you isi, 70g was all I had in the house, probably would have used a bit more if I had it. 70g makes it the same texture as your original so if you are happy with that texture, go for it.  It tastes really nice but then so did the coffee one - just nice to be able to vary it sometimes.  I can see my grand-children preferring the chocolate one though so they will be the testers tomorrow.

Just a point about cornflour. Isi's maize flour is different from our corn flour. The one we get (Nurses) is actually wheaten cornflour. I think if you use proper cornflour made from corn, you may find it makes the custard set better.

I used "real" cornflour & it was still "wobbly" but delicious. ;D ;D
