Cook Until Thickened
Continue to cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- 5
Melt the Chocolate
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the custard is smooth.
- 6
Chill the Custard
Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
