Notes
You can replace the dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate without changing the recipe.
Pay particular attention to the cooking of Creme Anglaise, which must not exceed 85°C (185°F). An empirical method to test cooking is to dip a spoon in the custard and make sure a thin and persistent film remains on the back. As creme Anglaise does not have any starch, it will easily break up if we exceed the coagulation temperature of eggs.
