  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Topping

  • slowly whisk in milk until smooth
  • whisk egg yolks in a bowl then whisk in 1/2 cup of the warm chocolate mixture to temper

Finish and chill
