Chocolate and Vanilla Custards


This recipe comes from the Feisty Tapas blog (and it is originally from the UK thermomix book Fast and Easy Cooking). I doubled it to make a decent amount (2 serves just wasn't going to cut it) and had to play around with the cooking time a bit.

1L milk (I used half coconut and half dairy)
3 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs (meant to be a room temp but I couldn't wait)
75g raw sugar 
5 Tbsp cornflour
4 Tbsp cocoa powder

- Put all ingredients EXCEPT cocoa into thermomix and whiz for 5 secs on speed 5.
- Cook 10mins, 90 deg, speed 3 until the mixture thickens. (The first time mine thickened quickly, but the last time I made it I had to give it another 3-5 mins cooking time. Not sure why...)
- Mix 8 secs on speed 6. Pour HALF the mix into ramekins or clear glasses (4-6 depending on the size you use). Cool till just firm.
- Add cocoa to the thermomix and whiz 20 secs on speed 6. Pour over the vanilla custard and cool to room temp. Cover to prevent a skin forming and chill in fridge. Nice served with raspberries/strawberries to offset the sweetness.
