made triple batch this morning on stove top, it could easily be made in the TM
i just tried some   its very good

DD recipe not sure where she got it from
 
   * 250g good-quality dark chocolate,
   * broken into pieces
   * 1 x 600ml ctn Dairy Farmers Thick Custard
   * 1 x 300ml ctn Dairy Farmers Thickened Cream
   * White chocolate, thickly grated, to serve


   * Method


   1. Step 1

Place the chocolate and custard in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Use a metal spoon to stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.

   1. Step 2

Use an electric beater to whisk the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add to the chocolate mixture and gently fold until just combined. Spoon evenly among eight 200ml-capacity serving glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge

for 1 hour or until set. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate to serve

This looks great, just the thing I might make to take to a dinner tomorrow. If I can't be bothered going to the shops to buy custard, do you think I could make the EDC one and use the same amount of that?
I might just have a go anyway...

this is the custard i do

500g  milk i used skimmed
6 whole eggs
60 gm sugar
40 gram of corn flour
9 minutes @ 80C on speed 4

it makes more than 600mls about 750mls  i am trying to work out how much chocolate and cream  i would need to use for that amount of custard  b4 posting the conversion

[Jamberie]

Thanks for sharing your custard Uni. I guess as 750g is 25% more than 600 so would you increase the others by 25% too? I'll try it tmw and maybe increase the cooking by a min or so....

thanks Jam
after you make the custard add the chocolate stir at speed 3 until melted and smooth

when cool fold it in to the whipped cream (soft  peaks) and your done .Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge

I licked the bowl and it is delicious! I'll try to post a pic and my little tweak soon. Thanks so much for a yummy recipe...particularly good for those like my DH who love mousse but don't like raw egg
