• 2 Mix the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt in a 2-quart sauce pan.
  Gradually stir in the milk and heavy cream.
• 3 Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes
  to a boil. Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute.
• 4 Gradually pour a little of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, stirring
  constantly to temper the eggs. Then add the egg mixture to the saucepan, bring
