Baked Chocolate Custard – Valentine’s Week

Many years ago chocolate would have been used as an aphrodisiac. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that chocolate will get you in the mood. Although there is evidence to suggest that it does have a strong placebo effect.

In other words chocolate will get you thinking about making love and this puts your mind on the subject. So if your thinking about romance this Valentine’s then this would make a brilliant dessert or sweet treat. Even if your not chocolate custard is still a delicious way to celebrate the day. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Baked Chocolate Custard was a yummy sweet treat. It was very easy to prepare and cook. The custard will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. All of the ingredients in this dish can be made and frozen for another occasion. We ate this as a dessert and it was so good. Plus I had the leftovers the next day and these were just as delicious. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
