Experimental Cooking Adventures
Me, from the kitchen: "I'm going to try something that may be an offence against God and Man. We'll see."
Housemate.Dave: "Does it involve kiwi fruit chocolate custard?"
Me: "No, just plain chocolate... but I have some whipping cream to make tasty treats for tomorrow, but I won't need all of it, so I'm going to try adding some cream and making whipped chocolate custard cream."
slightly late
result: DELICIOUS
So what I did was, I started out making thickish vanilla custard, using gluten-free custard powder. Then I added a smallish chunk of milk chocolate, stirred it through, and took it off heat. Left the saucepan a couple of minutes, then added a little more cold milk, stirred that through (custard was now lumpy, but that's fine because of later stages), transferred it to a mixing bowl, added some whipping cream, and whipped it but good. (Which makes it fluffy AND smooths out the lumps.)
The lukewarm result is delicious. I've put most of it into two cups and put those in the fridge to chill overnight. Tomorrow I shall offer Nic Whipped Chocolate Custard Cream Mousse.
SO TASTY. I AM A COOKING GENIUS.
Also, another Conversation with Dave:
Me: What are you playing? That guy is familiar.
Dave: Devil May Cry 4.
Me: Who is he?
Dave: Dante.
Me: ... I think I've seen him cosplayed.
Dave: Probably.

Can confirm, btw: mousse-stuff was delicious both to Nicole and to her infant son, who made adorable happy growly noises and tried to grab at the cup for MOAR.

Mama A had a bumpersticker in the70s that I wish I could find these days. I big brown moose on it with "Save the Chocolate Mousse!"
