Chocolate Custard

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup milk
6 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
4 egg yolks


Place cream and milk in heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high
heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil (2 to 3
minutes). Immediately remove from heat. Add chocolate; whisk until
melted and smooth.

Whisk yolks in large bowl just to blend. Gradually whisk warm chocolate
mixture into beaten yolks. Return chocolate mixture to same saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and
just begins to bubble (8 to 10 minutes). DO NOT BOIL.

Pour custard evenly among six (3-ounce) custard cups. Cool completely.
Cover; chill 1 hour or until serving time.
