Chocolate Caliente Spanish Hot Chocolate

This is super rich and thick, perfect with churros or magdelenas. The serving size is approximate, depending on your sweet tooth. I have also posted a version made with unsweetened chocolate and sugar.

Steps

Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the cornstarch.
Whisk to dissolve the cornstarch.
Once the cornstarch is dissolved , heat the milk on medium heat just until it boils , then remove from heat.
Add the chocolate immediately and begin stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.
If the milk cools off too fast , place the pan back on the stove on low heat to melt the chocolate.
Place the pan back on the stove on medium low heat , stirring slowly , but constantly.
Taste the chocolate for sweetness and add more sugar if necessary.
The mixture should thicken quickly.
As soon as you see it thicken , remove the pan from the heat so the cornstarch will not thin.
Ladle immediately into cups and serve piping hot.
Enzymes from your mouth can cause a thickened cornstarch mixture to thin.
