Ingredients:
- 1 can (or 14 oz / 395g) sweetened condensed milk

- 600 ml (20.3 fl oz) whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup (3.2 oz / 90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cornstarch, and cocoa powder.

- Add the egg yolks (if desired, remove the egg membrane) and mix again.
- Gradually add the milk, incorporating it well into the other ingredients.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Cook for a few minutes until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
- Continue stirring for an additional 3 minutes to fully cook the cornstarch and egg yolks.
- Remove from heat when the mixture is thickened.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased mold (approximately 7-inch diameter) and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming.
