Instructions
- Heat the milk and sugar together in a small saucepan and whisk, then break the chocolate into it.
- Continue to heat while you whisk until all the chocolate has melted into the milk.
- Add the constarch/cornflour mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 4 minutes until the mixture has thickened a little (it should coat the whisk).
- Pour into cups and sprinkle with a little extra grated chocolate (if you like).

Notes
- Serving tips: I don’t like cream, but go ahead and top your thick hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows if you’re in the mood for a bigger treat than usual!
- The hot chocolate might still seem quite thin when you pour it into your cups, but bear in mind it will thicken up more as it cools.
- This would also make a delicious chocolate sauce for ice cream or cake.
- Variations: Try adding a little peppermint or vanilla essence, or use flavored chocolate for a tasty twist on the regular recipe. Cinnamon, coffee, orange zest, or even a small pinch of chili powder can also work very well!
- Storage: Pop the leftovers in the fridge to make a delicious thick chocolate pudding - just for you! Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days covered well in the fridge. Simply reheat gently on the stove again, adding a drizzle more milk if it seems too thick.
- Another amazing Italian chocolate treat: You just have to try this tenerina torta (Italian chocolate cake) as well! It's amazingly delicious with its crisp top and fudgy inside!
