1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
Dash salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
In saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually blend in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Serve warm or chilled. If serving chilled, make sure to cover the surface with a piece of waxed paper while warm. Otherwise, a tough skin will form.
