Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 (3.5-oz.) dark chocolate bars (at least 70% cacao), chopped
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp orange juice
  • pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. Whisk together cornstarch and 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
  2. Cook remaining 3 1/2 cups milk in a large, nonaluminum saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear around edge of saucepan (about 4 minutes; do not boil). Whisk in chocolate, honey, orange juice, almond liqueur, vanilla extract, and salt until blended and smooth. Whisk in cornstarch mixture.
  3. Bring milk mixture to a light boil, whisking frequently (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat. Let cool slightly. (Mixture will thicken as it cools.) Serve immediately with Marshmallow Whipped Cream, if desired.
  4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Ghirardelli Intense Dark Twilight Delight 72% Cacao dark chocolate bar and Amaretto for almond liqueur.
