- 3 tablespoons cornstarch

- Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then return to cleaned saucepan.
- Put 1/4 cup milk mixture in a small bowl and whisk in cornstarch. Return to saucepan, then boil over medium heat 2 minutes, whisking often (mixture will be thick). Remove from heat and add chocolate, stirring until melted and incorporated. Chill, stirring occasionally, until very cold, 3 to 6 hours.
