We pour half a cup of milk and set it aside. Then we pour the rest of the milk plus the vanilla in a pot and we put it on heat.
When the milk is hot but it has not started to boil, we add the sugar and the cocoa powder and we stir well with a hand mixer to get them dissolved and avoid clumping. We keep on cooking on medium heat.
In the meantime, we add the cornstarch into the half a glass of milk we set aside earlier, and we stir with a spoon.
When the chocolate starts to boil, we add the dissolved cornstarch and let it cook until it becomes thick and gets the consistency we want.
We take it off the heat, we let it get cold at room temperature, and then we put it in the fridge. We serve it cold.
