Melt the milk and vanilla extract in a saucepan
Bring to almost a boil, then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch
Add 1 tablespoon of water to obtain a paste
Gradually add the melted milk mixture, whisking well
Pour the mixture into a clean saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are light and fluffy
Gradually add the cooked chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, beating well
Remove from heat and let cool, stirring frequently, until thickened
If too thick, add milk
The consistency should be that of a thick cream, but still pourable
Cover and refrigerate or freeze for at least 2 hours
To serve, divide the chocolate cream into 6 portions
Quickly cut the frozen meringue shells into slices and place one in each portion
Garnish with rasps of chocolate, 6 times.
