Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder I very much prefer the extra dark variety
- 1 egg beaten
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips + extra for garnish if desired (I used Enjoy Life brand)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- whipped cream optional garnish
Instructions
- In a wide-bottomed sauce pot, whisk together the milk, sugar, corn starch, cocoa powder, and egg. Set it over medium heat and whisk until the mixture begins to bubble up. Turn the heat down to medium-low and keep whisking until thick and creamy, less than 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla. Divide among 4 or 5 bowls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture cools and is set, about 2 hours.
- Garnish with whipped cream and more chocolate chips, if desired, and serve. YUM!
