| 6 | tablespoons | sugar | |
| 1/4 | cup | cocoa powder | unsweetened |
| 2 | tablespoons | cornstarch | sifted |
| 1 | teaspoon | gelatin | unflavored |
| 1 | cup | cream, half and half | |
| 1 | cup | evaporated milk | skim |
| 2/3 | cup | milk | whole |
| 2 | each | egg yolks | jumbo, lightly beaten |
| 2 | teaspoons | vanilla extract | |
| Optional topping | |||
| 1/4 | cup | heavy whipping cream | whipped |
| 1 | tablespoon | pistachio nuts | blanched, chopped, or 6 candied violets |
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 creme 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.

General:Cumin (pronounced "come-in") is the pale green seed of Cuminum cyminum, a small herb in the parsley family. The seed is uniformly eliptical and deeply furrowed. ...
I've had allspice in my chicken lentil stew before so I was pretty sure our family would like this one. We have all been suprised at how wonderful allspice tastes in a recipe like this and my kids said this even outranked the original recipe that my Mom's boyfriend had made. I would also rate this as fairly easy for home made soup. We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.
