방향

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

2. Add milk slowly: Gradually whisk in the milk to avoid lumps.

3. Cook: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or silicone spatula until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble — about 5–10 minutes. Once it starts bubbling, cook for 1–2 more minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Add flavor: Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and optional chopped chocolate or chips until fully melted and smooth.

5. Serve: Pour into bowls or jars. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate if you prefer it chilled and thickened more.

6. Optional topping ideas:

Whipped cream

Crushed Oreos

Fresh berries

Shaved chocolate
