Ingredients:
-
Milk – 600 ml (2 glasses)
-
Cornflour – 2 tbsp
-
Cocoa Powder (unsweetened) – 2 tbsp
-
Sugar – 4 tbsp (adjust to taste)
-
Dark Chocolate – 70 g (any variety like Dairy Milk works too)
-
Ice Cubes – for serving
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Heat the Milk
-
Pour 600 ml of milk into a pan and start heating it on medium flame.
-
Stir continuously so the milk doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom.
Step 2: Mix Cocoa Powder & Cornflour
-
In a bowl, add 2 tbsp cocoa powder and 2 tbsp cornflour.
Cocoa Powder & cornflour -
Add a few spoons of warm milk and mix it until smooth.
-
Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Step 3: Add Sugar
-
Once the milk is slightly warm, add 4 tbsp sugar.
-
For a sweeter version (especially for kids), you can increase to 5–6 tbsp.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
-
Slowly add the cocoa-cornflour mix into the warm milk while stirring continuously.
-
This will prevent lumps and give you a smooth texture.
Step 5: Add Chocolate
-
Chop 70 g of dark chocolate and add it to the milk.
-
Stir constantly until the chocolate melts completely.
-
Bring the mixture to a light boil. It will thicken nicely.
Tip: You can use vanilla custard powder instead of cornflour for a different taste, but real chocolate and cornflour give the best authentic flavor.
Step 6: Let It Cool
-
Once the mixture boils and thickens, turn off the heat.
-
Let it cool for 10–15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 7: Crush the Ice
-
Crush ice cubes using a clean cloth and rolling pin, or use a blender for convenience.
