Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Line base and sides of an 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper, allowing ends to overhang.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, whisk together remaining sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk to form a thick paste. Stir in remaining milk and cream until smooth.

Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in egg yolks.
