Instructions

Take 100 ml of cold milk from the carton and mix in the cornflour until you have a smooth, lump-free paste.
In a pan, heat the rest of the milk with the sugar and salt over medium heat until it just simmers.
Add the chocolate broken into pieces and stir until fully melted.
Pour in the cornflour mixture in a thin stream while whisking, then let it thicken for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of a spoon.
Off the heat, stir in the vanilla, pour into bowls and leave to cool to room temperature with cling film pressed onto the surface.
Chill for at least 2 hours. Dust with cocoa when serving if you like.
