Instructions:
- In a pot, heat milk and cream till they’re hot but not boiling.

- Add the dark chocolate and mix till the chocolate melts completely. Let it simmer again for 2–3 minutes so the flavours deepen.
- Pour in your cornstarch slurry and keep mixing over low heat till the hot chocolate thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve it hot in your cups with marshmallows on top and torch the marshmallows like I did if you like, enjoyy!
