A German winter classic that belongs in the cup all over the country: hot chocolate the old-fashioned way, with real dark chocolate and cocoa melted into milk. Thick, dark and velvety, it has little in common with the powdered drink from a sachet. A cap of whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings turn it into the reward after a walk in the snow.

Instructions

1
Finely chop the dark chocolate.
2
Warm the milk in a pan over medium heat until it steams; it must not boil. Take out about 100 ml of the hot milk and stir the cocoa powder and sugar into it until smooth and free of lumps.
3
Pour the cocoa mixture back into the remaining hot milk, add the chopped chocolate, the salt and the cinnamon and let everything melt over low heat, stirring constantly.
4
Whisk the hot chocolate vigorously until a fine layer of foam forms.
5
Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar until stiff.
6
Pour the hot chocolate into warmed cups, top each with a cap of whipped cream and scatter the grated chocolate over it.
