Cream in a glass
Ingredients: 1 liter of milk, 3 egg yolks, 5 tablespoons of flour, 5 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa
To prepare a delicious chocolate cream, follow these detailed and flavorful steps. Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites. In a deep bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar until you achieve a fluffy, intensely yellow foam. This step is essential because the incorporated air will make your cream lighter and fluffier. Once you have a homogeneous consistency, add high-quality cocoa powder. Make sure to mix well to avoid lumps, as the cocoa must be perfectly integrated into the mixture.
The next step is to gradually incorporate the flour, alternating with the milk. Add a tablespoon of flour, then a splash of milk, and continue until you have incorporated all the flour. This method will help prevent lumps from forming and will make the final texture of the cream smooth and velvety. Once the flour is completely incorporated, add the remaining milk, stirring constantly to achieve an even mixture.
After you have made this mixture, transfer it to a small saucepan, which you will place in a larger pot with water to steam. It is important to ensure that the water does not touch the bottom of the saucepan where you placed the cream to avoid direct boiling. Stir the mixture constantly for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens, being careful not to let lumps form.
Once the cream has thickened and reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. After it has cooled, pour the cream into individual glasses or bowls and place them in the fridge to cool completely. This step is essential to allow the flavors to develop and for the texture to become perfect.
Before serving, garnish each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and add fresh fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, or banana slices to provide a pleasant contrast of taste and color. This chocolate cream will surely be a refined and delicious dessert, perfect for any occasion or simply to indulge yourself!
