PROCESS: -Shave chocolate into shards -Add sugar and cornstarch into a medium bowl and whisk together. -Add ½-1 cup of the half & half and whisk together vigorously. -Mix the cornstarch first with sugar, then into the cold half & half. This prevents it from clumping when added to a hot liquid. -Pour remaining half & half into sauce pan, add vanilla seeds, and place over medium heat. -Whisk cornstarch mixture together again briefly, then add to sauce pan. -Cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes just up to a boil and thickens, 2-3 minutes. -Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove immediately from heat. -Add chocolate, and a pinch of salt. The salt brings out the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness. -Stir mixture gently with a wooden spoon to melt the chocolate and incorporate the flavors. -Pour hot water into serving cups, remove, and dry with a clean towel, then pour about ½ cup of hot chocolate into each cup.
