Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

3 tbsp cornstarch
3 packets of hot chocolate powder
2 The Farmer’s Cow large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups The Farmer’s Cow low-fat milk

Directions

Whisk the cornstarch and hot chocolate powder together in a medium-sized pot. Add egg yolks, vanilla, and milk, and stir until fully mixed.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until thickened, stirring continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
Once the custard has thickened and is smooth, pour it into serving cups.
Let the cups cool at room temperature for 15 minutes before transferring them to the fridge until ready to serve.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!
