Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Custard

- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth and pale.

- Simmer the milk, combine with the chocolate mixture, and cook until thick and glossy.
- Stir in vanilla and butter, then chill with plastic wrap pressed to the surface.
Step 3: Layer the Custards
