Chocolate Pudding

Put a pint and a half of milk to boil. Have four tablespoonfuls of scraped chocolate in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of boiling water and four of sugar, when the paste is smooth and glossy pour it in the milk. Mix four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with half a pint of milk and one teaspoonful of salt; pour this in the boiling milk and stir for a few minutes. Pour the mixture in a fancy mould and let it remain for three-quarters of an hour.
