John Nott's Wine Chocolate is a rich, chocolatey dessert that originated in Portugal. It is named after the British politician who served as Secretary of State for Defence during the Falklands War. The dessert is typically made with port wine, a fortified wine from the Douro Valley region of Portugal. The addition of chocolate and sugar creates a thick, decadent dessert that is perfect for special occasions.

1.	In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and grated chocolate until combined.
2.	Gradually stir in the port wine until smooth.
3.	Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil. Continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes more.
4.	Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
5.	Once cooled, pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual ramekins and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
