Hot Chocolate (1816)
  1. Dice the chocolate bar into very small pieces and set aside.

  2. In a medium pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it just reaches a boil, then reduce heat.

  3. In a separate pot over low heat, melt the chocolate gently.

  4. Slowly stir a few spoonfuls of the hot milk into the melted chocolate, forming a thick, smooth sauce.

  5. Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring constantly.

  6. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon until fully dissolved.

  7. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks. Temper them with a spoonful of the hot chocolate mixture.

  8. Slowly pour the tempered yolks into the pot while whisking aggressively.

  9. Continue stirring over low heat for several minutes until the chocolate thickens to a custard-like consistency. Do not boil.

  10. Serve immediately. Garnish with unsweetened whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate if desired.
