Chocolate shavings for topping (optional)

Instructions

Make the Custard Base
In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Gradually add the milk while whisking to ensure a lump-free mixture.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard (about 8–10 minutes). Remove from heat.
Add Chocolate & Butter
Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and butter until fully melted and incorporated into the custard. The result should be glossy and rich.
Assemble the Dessert
Line the bottom of a square or rectangular baking pan with a layer of ladyfinger biscuits. Pour the hot chocolate custard over the top and spread evenly.
