For 6 serving size, you’ll need the following ingredients: 

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
• 1/4 cup Frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
• 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Method:

• Step one: Mix the cornstarch, eggs, cocoa and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.  Stir and whisk well.
• 
  
• Step two: Heat the milk in a sauce pan at 180 degrees until it forms tiny bubbles. Never boil it. Slowly add this to a mixture of sugar (as previously mentioned above). Whisk well.
• 
  
• Step three: Place the milk and sugar mixture into the pan again and heat it for at least five minutes while stirring constantly until it thickens and forms bubbles over it.
• 
  
• Step four: Spoon the mixture into the bowl. Add liqueur, chocolate, and vanilla while stirring constantly until the chocolate melts.
• 
  
• Step five: Put the bowl on a large ice-filled container until it cools. Next, remove it from ice after fifteen short minutes and gently fold it in one-third of the whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Grizzle with hazelnuts for a perfect finish.
