  • Whisk the cocoa powder and chocolate into the milk.
  • In a separate bowl mix together the egg yolks, egg and sugar. Pour the just boiled milk and chocolate mixture over the egg mixture stirring well.
  • Pour the mixture carefully into 4 oiled ramekins and set in your slow cooker.

  • Sprinkle with cocoa before serving.

Notes

* If you prefer the cream version, you can use a mixture of milk and cream, it may have a slightly lighter texture to finish but will work all the same
