Sorry, Nancy, up to my eyeballs the last couple of days with classes and more... 
Cocoa powder doesn't really dissolve so much as it seems to get moistened and distributed (real chocolate, even unsweetened, has the cocoa butter as a carrier for the chocolate solids; if you can't do cream, I guess cocoa butter is out of the picture, eh?) 
If you haven't sorted this out already (I haven't read the rest of this thread yet), I'd make a very smooth paste with whatever liquid you will have in your hypothetical Chocolate Curd, and then incorporate THAT in your beaten and cooking eggs...whatcha think? |
