Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped dark chocolate, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder and a small pinch of kosher salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the 2% milk.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, bring 1 3/4 cups of the 2% milk to a simmer, until bubbles form around the edges. Add the chocolate mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula until melted and smooth, about 4 minutes.
3. Whisk in the cornstarch and milk mixture and keep stirring until the chocolate thickens, about 1 minute.
4. Take off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. If a skin forms on the surface, whisk it.
5. Pour into heat-proof cups or mugs, top with chocolate shavings and/or whipped cream if you like, and serve right away.
