Number Of Ingredients 14

280 g milk
15 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
20 g corn starch
50 g sugar
2 egg yolks
40 g butter
25 g sugar
15 g cornstarch
10 g cocoa powder
250 g milk
1 egg yolk
45 g chocolate, chopped fine (I use semi-sweet)
10 g butter

Steps:

Mix milk, first measuring of sugar and vanilla extract in a pan (I like to use non-stick), and bring to the boil.
Meanwhile, whisk corn starch and second measuring of sugar together.
Add the egg yolks, whisk until mixed well with the starch and sugar.
When the milk has come to the boil, add a little to the egg mixture and mix immediately; then add the rest of the milk while whisking.
Pour the milk-egg mixture back in the pan and place on medium-low heat, while stirring constantly.
When it has thickened and boiled for about 20 seconds, the vanilla vla is ready; pour it into a bowl immediately.
Add the butter and keep whisking until it is incorporated.
Leave to cool and serve cold or at room temperature.
