Chocolate cream: ingredients

Even if you are beginners in cooking , preparing this chocolate cream is very easy. It’s for everyone. The ingredients for half a liter of cream are:

  • 3 tablespoons of bitter cocoa powder,
  • 300 ml whole milk,
  • 30 g “00” flour,
  • 3 egg yolks,
  • 100 g sugar.

Now we are ready to start preparing our cream.

How to make it

So let’s take a large bowl. Then pour the egg yolks and sugar inside. We can work the two ingredients by mixing with whips. We continue to stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then, when the dough becomes clear and frothy, we combine the bitter cocoa with the flour. As we continue to stir, we add the milk. Once we have a soft and smooth cream, without lumps, we pour it into a non-stick saucepan. Now let’s cook everything on a very low heat. You have to be especially careful to mix constantly. In fact, this is important for making sure that the cream does not burn.
