Ingredients

• 2 cups skim milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add in the skim milk, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture starts to thicken and comes to a slow boil, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2 minutes while continuing to stir until the custard is smooth and thick.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and dark chocolate chips until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is glossy.

Step 6

Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or ramekins.

Step 7

Cover each dish with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the custard to set and chill.

Step 9

Serve the custard chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
