Chocolate Cream Danette Style Recipe Video

Growing up in Morocco, I loved a dairy product called "Danette". It is a chocolate cream, not too sweet, but very chocolaty, that I used to eat with cookies! I was not able to find Danette in the U.S. so today I am going to show you how to make homemade chocolate cream "Danette" style. This is a very easy recipe, with simple ingredients, but there is one trick: when adding the corn starch you only have a very short time window to cook the cream, so it thickens, then you remove it immediately from the heat. Otherwise, the cream will become too thick and the texture is not pleasant. And that's it!

Directions

GETTING READY
1. In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt together using a whisk. Break all the lumps.
2. In a separate small bowl, dilute the corn starch with some cold milk. Mix until very smooth. Set aside.

MAKING
3. In a saucepan, add the milk and the heavy cream. Then add the chocolate mixture.
4. Cook on medium-low heat for 3 minutes, until all the dry mixture is dissolved. Whisk continuously.
5. After 3 minutes of cooking the chocolate milk, add the vanilla extract and continue cooking on medium-low heat until you see steam coming out from the milk and the surface of the milk starting to form bubbles on the sides. It's going to be right under the boiling point.
6. Add the diluted corn starch while whisking the chocolate milk continuously. Within a few seconds the cream will start thickening. Keep stirring and the moment the cream thickens remove from the heat.
7. Pour the chocolate cream in small cups and let it sit on your kitchen counter for 15 minutes to cool down a bit. Then place in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.

SERVING
8. In a serving bowl, serve the dip cold with cookies.
