Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved to avoid any lumps.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt to the milk mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and dark chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Pour the chocolate cream into four small dessert cups or ramekins.
Step 6
Allow the chocolate cream to cool for a few minutes, then cover each cup with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate the chocolate cream for at least 30 minutes or until set.
Step 8
Serve chilled, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped topping or fresh berries for added flavor.
