Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Coarsely chop 10 g fresh mint leaves.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Pour 167 ml whole milk into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.

Stage 3 - 15 min.

As soon as the milk boils, turn off the heat, add the mint leaves, stir, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

After this time, pour the contents of the pan into a fine strainer set over a bowl.

Squeeze the mint leaves well to fully express the flavor.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Pour the mint milk back into the pan (which you will have quickly cleaned) and put back on low heat.

Add 17 g dark chocolate, cut into small pieces or better yet into chocolate drops (pistoles) and 7 g caster sugar.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

With a whisk, stir gently to melt the chocolate completely, turn off the heat as soon as it is finished.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Dilute 8 g cornflour in 1 tablespoon water, and whisk this mixture into the milk all at once.

The cream will thicken in seconds.

Stage 8

Divide the cream between ramekins, cups or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Stage 9

Serve cold, if possible decorated with a few mint leaves.

Remarks

If you prefer a little more sweetness, you can increase the weight of sugar a little, or replace half of the dark chocolate with milk chocolate.

The amount of mint leaves indicated is quite indicative, if you want a more pronounced mint taste, don't hesitate to increase (very) significantly the dose.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the refrigerator, protected by a stretch film.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
