Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped (or in chips))
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Place the milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes, whisking frequently, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spatula.
  • Place the chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne in the pitcher of a large blender. Pour the warm custard mixture over the top, then put the lid on the blender and puree until very smooth.
  • Divide the mixture into four containers, cover with plastic wrap, and chill until set (about 2 hours).
