Method
- Bring the milk to a simmer in a small pan, then remove from the heat just before it starts to boil. At the same time, add the sugar and butter in another pan over a low-medium heat. Once the butter has melted and and the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and stir in the cornflour, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Off the heat, gradually add the milk to the butter mixture, whisking all the time, until it’s all combined and smooth. Return to a low heat and gently bring back to the boil, stirring all the time. This will take several minutes, so be patient.
- Once it’s about to boil, add the chopped chocolate and whisk in until melted and almalgamated. Divide between 4 glasses or serving bowls. Chill for at least 4 hours. Grate over a little more dark chocolate before serving.
