Its therefore thick and creamy, it whole deserves ‘Drinkable Chocolate’ standing. So deadly, that solely serious chocoholics are allowed to trespass.

If you discover yourself licking chocolate syrup off of plates, and concealed spoonfuls of freshly ready pudding before it sets, then this drink is what you’ve been needing all of your life.

INGREDIENTS:

•  1 cup whole milk, divided
•  1 cup heavy whipping cream
•  4 tablespoons (50g) granulated sugar
•  1½ teaspoons cornstarch (reduce to 3/4 teaspoon if a thinner consistency is preferred)
•  4½ ounces/ 128 grams dark chocolate, callets or finely chopped from a bar
•  Whipped cream, optional for garnish
•  Chocolate shavings, optional for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together ¾ cup of the milk, cream and sugar. Heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup milk and cornstarch until well combined. As soon as the milk mixture bubbles around the edges, add in the milk and cornstarch mixture and whisk until heated through, about 1 minute.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add in the chocolate and whisk until completely dissolved into the milk mixture, and is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and pour into mugs. While this recipe fills 2 average-sized mugs, keep in mind that it's super rich, so you might want to consider serving 4 half cupfuls instead. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and top with chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately as the drink will continue to thicken as it cools.
