Chocolate Custard Cups
- Serves 2
- 1/2 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
- 2 T cold water
- 1/3 cup half-and-half
- 2 T sugar
- 1 t instant coffee crystals
- 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup skim milk
- pinch salt
- sifted cocoa powder, optional
whipped topping, optional
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 T cold water. Let soften 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring half-and-half to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; whisk in sugar and instant coffee until dissolved, about 1 minute. Whisk in chocolate until melted (be careful not to let it burn), about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk softened gelatin into chocolate mixture until gelatin has dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in milk and salt. Strain into a large liquid measuring cup (for easy pouring). Divide between two 6-ounce coffee cups or custard cups.
Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with cocoa powder, if desired
