When warmed through and well combined, add the corn starch and continue to whisk constantly, for about 10 minutes, until it thickens a bit. Note that it will continue to thicken as it cools.
When at desired consistency, turn off the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into individual serving glasses and put in the fridge to chill for an hour or more.
