Custard with bitter chocolate and cocoa turns out very tasty, with a pronounced chocolate taste. But unlike many other creams, it is not very dense and does not hold its shape so well. Therefore, it is better to decorate immediately before serving, but it is better to smear the cakes 2-3 hours before serving. During this time, he will have time to soak the cakes, and they will be more tender. The cream is perfect for sponge cake, shortbread cakes, but it is completely incompatible with waffle cakes. They instantly get wet and become faded. This amount is enough for a small cake.
