Join me and let's see how to make Homemade Danette
Instructions:
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Make sure they are well combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are well mixed. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly add the egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking. Then, return the saucepan to the heat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This may take about 5-7 minutes. Be sure not to boil the mixture.
Step 4
Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Mix well.
Step 5
Divide the homemade Danette into individual cups or a large bowl. Cover each portion with plastic wrap touching the surface of the Danette to prevent a film from forming on the top.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the Danette is well chilled and firm.
Step 7
Serve your homemade Danette with a dollop of whipped cream or grated chocolate if desired.
