Thick Italian Hot Chocolate

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the half-and-half with the cornstarch, whisking until smooth. It is important that there are no lumps. Set aside.

2. 2

   Place the remaining half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. When the half-and-half begins to bubble around the edges, whisk in the sugar. Then whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue stirring until the half-and-half thickens slightly, usually less than a minute. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the chocolate and stir until very smooth.

3. 3

   Pour into two cups. Enjoy!
