Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed chocolate biscuits (like Oreos or chocolate graham crackers)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the crust:
In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a square or round dish (8-inch works well). Place it in the fridge to set. - Make the chocolate custard:
In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 5–8 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. - Assemble:
Pour the warm chocolate custard over the chilled crust and spread it evenly.
Let it cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap (press it gently onto the custard to prevent a skin forming) and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set. - Serve:
Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch.
Enjoy your creamy, dreamy, no-bake chocolate custard treat! 🍫✨
