Ingredients
Chocolate Dunking Sauce:
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup milk, plus 1 cup
1 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Place the chocolate and half of the milk in a pan and heat on
low. When the chocolate has melted, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate
with the sugar. Cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add
extra cornstarch if it does not start to thicken after 5 minutes. Remove and whisk smooth.
Pour and serve in cups for dipping churros.
