  In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and gelatin, pressing out all lumps.

  Add the half and half, evaporated skim milk and whole milk; whisk vigorously to blend.

  Set the pan over moderately low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden, until the mixture just boils and is thickened and smooth, about 10 minutes.
• Step 4
  Blend a little of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then stir the warmed egg yolks back into the pan.
• Step 5
  Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Step 6
  The mixture must not boil or the eggs will scramble.
• Step 7
  Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Step 8
  Set the saucepan on a rack to cool for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
• Step 9
  Ladle the mixture into 6 decorative 4-ounce white porcelain ramekins and let cool completely.

  Cover each cup with plastic wrap, then refrigerate at least 5 hours, or overnight.
