Cut conchas into slices, reserving any crunchy topping that falls off when slicing.
Combine sugar, unsweetened cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk in milk, bring to a boil, and stir continuously for two minutes.
Carefully remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla and allow to cool. Chill until ready to serve.
