Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Big pinch of kosher or sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate melted

Instructions

  • Prepare a large bowl filled with ice water, big enough to accommodate another medium bowl. 
  • Heat milk, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a medium pot, whisking well until the mixture just begins to steam. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together cream, egg yolks, and evoo. While whisking cream and egg mixture, slowly stream in heated milk mixture and keep whisking like a maniac. 
  • Return the mixture to the pot and place over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and coats a spatula. 
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in melted chocolate and continue whisking vigorously over ice bath until cooled. Freeze the custard until firm before serving.
