Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Mint and chocolate cream
Coarsely chop 30 ml fresh mint leaves.

Stage 2 - 10 min.
Mint and chocolate cream
Pour 500 ml whole milk into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.

Stage 3 - 15 min.
Mint and chocolate cream
As soon as the milk boils, turn off the heat, add the mint leaves, stir, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes.

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

Add 62.5 ml dark chocolate, cut into small pieces or better yet into chocolate drops (pistoles) and 20 ml caster sugar.

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Mint and chocolate cream
With a whisk, stir gently to melt the chocolate completely, turn off the heat as soon as it is finished.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Mint and chocolate cream
Dilute 24.25 ml cornflour in 3 tablespoons water, and whisk this mixture into the milk all at once.

The cream will thicken in seconds.

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

Stage 9
Mint and chocolate cream

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.
