Triple Chocolate Desserts

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups  sugar
• 3/4 cup  cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon (heaping) kosher salt
• 4 cups whole milk
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1 tablespoon  vanilla extract
• 3 ounces  white chocolate, chopped
• Whipped cream, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. In a thin stream, pour in the milk whisking until smooth. In a thin stream, add in the half-and-half and whisk until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve or chinois into a saucepan. Over medium heat, whisking the mixture constantly, bring to a boil. Boil gently 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Transfer the custard to a mixing bowl.
