Ingredients
 

6 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp sifted cornstarch
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup evaporated skim milk

Preparation
 
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and gelatin,
pressing out all lumps. Add the half-and-half, evaporated skim milk
and whole milk; whisk vigorously to blend. Set the pan over
moderately low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden,
until the mixture just boils and is thickened and smooth, about 10
minutes.

Blend a little of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then
stir the warmed egg yolks back into the pan. Cook over moderately low
heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes. The mixture must not
boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and stir in the
vanilla. Set the saucepan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes, stirring
frequently to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.

Ladle the mixture into 6 decorative 4-ounce pot de crŠme cups or white
porcelain ramekins and let cool completely. Cover each cup with
plastic wrap, then refrigerate at least 5 hours, or overnight.

Serve as is or top each serving with a little of the whipped cream and
either a scattering of chopped pistachios or a single candied violet.
