A simple baked chocolate custard recipe that is rich, creamy, and perfect for dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking.
  5. Strain the mixture into a baking dish.
  6. Place the dish in a larger pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa for best flavor.
  • Do not overbake—custard will firm up as it cools.
  • Chill before serving for a firmer texture.
