Let's share some hot chocolate/cocoa recipes!
Viennese Hot Cocoa
6 oz chocolate (semi-sweet, 60-70% cocoa)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg yolk
Garnish: Whipped cream
Chop chocolate into small bits. Place in heavy saucepan with milk. Heat, stirring frequently until small bubbles come to the surface. DO NOT BOIL! Stir as needed to keep the milk from burning and chocolate from sticking to the bottom. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk to create foam. Taste and add sugar if needed. When the milk looks smooth remove from heat and cool for a bit. Stir together the egg yok and 2 TBS of hot cocoa. Whisk this back into the pan of hot cocoa. Return to heat, whisk constantly to create foam. Do not boil or the yolk will curdle! Divide between 2 cups and garnish with whipped cream.
This one is like pudding:
Cioccolata Calda (Hot Chocolate Italian-Style)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Mix the cocoa powder and sugar together in a small saucepan. Stir the 1 1/2 cups milk into the saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Place over low heat; slowly bring the mixture to a low simmer. Whisk 2 tablespoons of milk together with the cornstarch in a small cup; slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the cocoa mixture. Continue cooking, whisking continually, until the hot chocolate reaches a pudding-like thickness, 2 to 3 minutes.
I haven't tried it, but the recipe says "Add some Irish cream, cinnamon, and whipped cream for a fun variation."
