Method:

Preheat the oven to 150°C.

Grease 4 small ramekins or 2 medium ovenproof dishes with
nonstick spray. Line a deep ovenproof dish with a clean tea towel and put the
prepared ramekins or dishes on top.

1. Slowly heat the cream and milk in a saucepan until on the
brink of boiling. Remove from the heat.

2. Beat the egg yolks, sugar, cocoa and salt together until
just mixed. Add the warm cream mixture to the egg mixture a spoonful at a time
while beating continuously.

3. Transfer the entire mixture back to the saucepan and heat
over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Don’t let the mixture
boil over.

4. Stir for 5-7 minutes or until the custard thickens
slightly. Remove from the heat and pour into the prepared ramekins or ovenproof
dishes.

5. Pour a kettleful of hot water into the large ovenproof
dish with the tea towel and put in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the
custard has set but is still wobbly in the middle.

6. Remove from the oven and let the custard cool. Chill in
the fridge for 1-2 hours or until completely set.

7. To serve spread
the melted chocolate (if using) over the custard and garnish with pomegranate
seeds or berries (if using). The custard can also be enjoyed on its own.
