Ingredients:
- 1 Liter of milk or plant-based milk
- 90g of cornstarch (or 4 packets of unflavored gelatin, pre-hydrated)
- 50g of cocoa powder
- Optional: Sweetener of choice (about 3 tablespoons or 100g of a granulated alternative)
Instructions:
- In a pot, combine the milk with the cocoa powder and cornstarch (or hydrated gelatin for a gel version). Stir or whisk until everything is dissolved.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 7 to 8 minutes).
- Transfer the mixture to a mold or an upcycled container with the top cut off. Refrigerate for about 4 to 5 hours until set.
- If using gelatin, ensure the cocoa is well integrated with the milk. Heat the mixture and add the pre-dissolved gelatin. Mix well and then chill until set.
