Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 4 oz milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk to the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
