• 7 ounces dark chocolate
  
• 2 cups whole milk

Instructions



1. Chop the chocolate into very fine pieces.
   Combine chocolate, 1¾ cups milk, cream, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large saucepan. Stir vigorously using a whisk over medium heat until mixture simmers and is smooth and thick.
   
   
2. Stir the remaining ¼ cup milk and cornstarch together and whisk into the chocolate mixture. Simmer for a minute, whisking and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula. Add the butter and cook 1 more minute. Stir in vanilla.
