Step 1: Prepare the AquaChef
Place the basket inside your AquaChef and place 6-8 ramekins in the basket inside the AquaChef and fill the AquaChef with enough water to reach nearly the top of the ramekins. Remove the ramekins and dry them. Plug in the AquaChef and turn it on. Set the AquaChef's temperature to 175° F and press the start button to preheat the water. The water will be preheated when the Indicator light changes from Red to Blue.
Step 2: Prepare the Custard
Using a mixer, mix together the Custard ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into 6-8 ramekins, and tightly cover them with plastic, securing the edges with rubber bands.
Step 3: Cooking with the AquaChef
Once the AquaChef is preheated, set the cook time on your AquaChef to 1 hour. Then place the covered ramekins in the cooking basket and place it carefully into the AquaChef and put the lid on.
Step 4: Making the Topping
With a cold metal bowl, whip the Heavy Whipping Cream and Sugar with a mixer until you have stiff peaks. Cover the whipped cream and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Step 5: Serving the Custard
Once the time is up, the AquaChef will beep. Carefully remove the basket from the AquaChef, as it will be hot. Remove the ramekins from the basket and place them in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. When ready to serve, add whipped cream on top of the Custard, and grate the Chocolate on top, and serve.
