- 1/4 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 Tb cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 cups (480ml) of whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk. Soy milk may also be used.

[edit] Preparation
- In a 1-qt microwave safe bowl (not metal), mix the dry ingredients (sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt).

[edit] Notes, tips and variations
