Separate 5 egg yolks into a bowl.

Once the milk is simmering, turn down the heat and add 5 ounces of milk chocolate, whisking until melted.

Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring jug to remove any lumps.

Pour the custard into small pots, filling them almost to the top.

Blot the surface of the custard with a paper towel to remove any bubbles for a smooth finish.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

Place the pots in a baking dish and create a water bath by adding hot water halfway up the sides of the pots.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until just set.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature for 90 minutes.

Chill the pots in the refrigerator for at least 90 minutes before serving.

Make malted milk whipped cream by whipping 1/4 cup of cream and adding 1 tablespoon of malted milk powder until combined.
