Recipe for a light cream to a cake on milk

Such a light chocolate cream on milk is prepared from practically the same ingredients as the custard. However, in the presented recipe there are no eggs, and even an inexperienced cook can fulfill it. Here is the complete list of ingredients for the preparation of the cream:

• Milk pasteurized fat (from 4%) - 500 ml;
• Butter - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
• Granulated sugar - 3 tbsp. Spoons;
• Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. Spoons;
• Potato starch - 3 tbsp. Spoons;
• Pinch of vanillin;
• The salt is at the tip of the knife.

Cooking process

To make a chocolate cream for chocolate cake, reserve a small saucepan. In a container we pour about 300 ml of milk, add cocoa, butter, sugar and salt. Now mix the ingredients and put the saucepan on the fire. The composition should go to a boil, turn down the gas and 2 minutes will cook the cream, stirring constantly. After the expiration of the time, remove the saucepan from the fire.

Now you need to take another vessel and put starch in it. It is necessary to dilute the loose product in the remains of milk.

Tip: to make the starch dispensed in cold milk immediately without lumps, it is necessary to add the liquid slightly, stirring the composition after each addition.

We connect the cold mass with hot, and again put on a slow fire. Very soon our home chocolate cream will boil again. After boiling, the composition almost immediately swells and thickens, but we still need some time to brew the contents of the saucepan. Therefore, it is necessary to exert a little effort and stir the chocolate mass as quickly as possible. Again, cook for 2 minutes, remove from heat, add vanilla sugar and cool the resulting chocolate cream. For chocolate cake use only fully cooled, held in the refrigerator mass. If you plan to serve cream as an independent dessert, then before sending it to the refrigerator, pour it over the kremanki.

Some tips and tricks

Make a clearer emphasis on chocolate taste will help a small addition. When you smear the cakes with the resulting chilled composition, sprinkle the top with shavings of dark chocolate, then the taste of the dessert will be ideal.

If you plan to use chocolate cream for chocolate cake, do not forget to cover the composition in the refrigerator with a lid. But it is better not to cover the croissants with an independent dessert, as they will acquire an extra flavor - they will be covered with a delicious crust.

The resulting pudding can be decorated with crushed nuts, chocolate chips, berries and whipped cream.
