Preparation method – explained in detail
Preparing the custard cream
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the powdered sugar using a whisk or mixer,
until the mixture is foamy and changes color to a light shade. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the vanilla sugar and cornstarch and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth.
Place a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. It is important to keep stirring to prevent the cream from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. After a few minutes, add the sifted cocoa powder for an intense flavour and a smooth texture. Cook until the cream thickens and reaches the desired consistency, then leave to cool.
