Dark Chocolate/Coconut Custard

It seems we sneak in an "In the Kitchen" moment every time we see Grand these days! Which, I might add, makes me especially happy for a couple reasons: 1) the kids love helping in the kitchen so I'm excited to foster their interest in cooking and baking, and 2) getting the chance to learn from a highly accomplished chief like Grand is particularly lucky for Malynn and Jack!

This visit Grand taught us how to make a dark chocolate/coconut custard. She made it for the kids a couple weeks before Valentine's Day and filled little heart containers with it so they had special after dinner treats leading up to V-Day! I'm not sure which is better, the fact that it is crazy simple to make or how delicious it is!

First the kids learned about coconut milk. They agreed it didn't smell like milk, but Jack pointed out it is probably called milk, "because it's white like milk."

Here's the run down...

Pour a can of coconut milk into a pan.

Pour a bag of dark chocolate chips into the pan and stir over low heat until melted and mixed through.

As chief Ramsey would say, "Taste, taste, taste!"

The kids helped decide when there was enough cinnamon. Malynn said, "It's good."

Finally pour into containers and chill.

Grand gets big props for helping both kids pour at the same time!

Thanks for the DELICIOUS treat!
