About
A childhood favourite that still delights!!
Makes 4 medium-sized individual ramekins.
This was a regular at my home when I was growing up...It is a simple, basic, fuss-free, uncomplicated, clean, comforting dessert....pretty much like childhood itself, I'd say!!

Step 1
Sprinkle the gelatine powder over the cold water and let it rest for five minutes.
-
Step 2
Mix cocoa, sugar and custard powder into a smooth paste with some of the milk in a saucepan.
-
Step 3
Add the rest of the milk to the paste, stirring well and bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue stirring until the paste thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 4
Add the vanilla extract.
-
Step 5
Add the gelatine, soaked in the cold water, to the hot mixture and stir well until the gelatine has been dissolved completely.
-
Step 6
Pour and divide the mixture equally between the ramekins ( I used fluted aluminium moulds).
-
Step 7
Refrigerate until set.
-
Step 8
When ready to serve, run a knife along the top edge of the set dessert. Then, dip the moulds for 5 seconds in hot water and overturn them onto a plate to unmould the dessert.
