Place milk, chocolate and sugar in a small pot. Heat over a low heat, while stirring all the time, to melt the chocolate and dissolve the sugar. 2. Mix cornflour, cocoa and cinnamon with 2 tbsp (30 ml) water to form a smooth paste with no lumps. 3. Add some of the warm milk mixture to the paste and stir well. Stir back into the milk mixture in the pot. 4. Stir continuously over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Notes

Tips 1. The sauce will thicken as it cools down. Just stir in a tablespoon of boiling water to thin it down again. 2. The chocolate sauce can also be served with ice cream. Only use 2 tsp (10 ml) cornflour and prepare as above. The recipe will then serve 8-10.
