I adapted this recipe from PRATHIRUCHI. Easy & quick to prepare dessert.

Choices for garnish (optional)

Grated chocolate, fresh strawberries when in season, crushed strawberry flavoured cornflakes, cherries, chopped almond flakes, pistachios. The list is endless. It all depends on individual taste and preferences :)

METHOD:-

1. Take half cup of the above total milk in a small bowl and add cocoa powder, sugar, cornflour and make a smooth paste.

2. Put rest of the milk to heat in a pan over medium heat. Let come to a boil & add the cocoa-cornflour mixture whilst stirring constantly with hand whisk to avoid lumps. Cook until thick, creamy, coats back of spoon and you are able to draw a line.
