Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions
Grab a small bowl and whisk the cornstarch, sugar, and cocoa powder together, then leave that nearby. In a medium saucepan, add the milk, the cocoa mixture, and the chocolate.

Refrigerate until it has set, at least 4 hours. Finish with whipped cream and fresh cherries.
