Steps:
- Melt together over low heat just 1 cup of the milk with all the chocolate. Bring to a slow, rolling boil.

- On high speed, beat together the whipping cream and vanilla. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, and continue beating briefly just until the whipped cream forms soft peaks.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat, and divide into cups. Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream and serve. Enjoy!
- Makes about 4 cups, to serve 4 to 6.

Steps:
- In a sauce pot over medium heat, add all of the ingredients except the egg yolk and bring to a simmer while whisking constantly. When the chocolate has melted, taste for sweetness and add more maple syrup as needed.
- Place the egg yolk in a mixing bowl and spoon in a few tablespoons of the hot chocolate. Whisk until smooth, then pour the egg mixture back into the pot while stirring constantly. Bring the hot chocolate back to a simmer, then pour into 2 mugs and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the hot chocolate will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overheat the milk. When you heat the milk, be careful not to let it boil. Boiling milk can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy.
- Whisk the chocolate and milk together until smooth. This will help to prevent the chocolate from clumping.
- Add flavorings to taste. You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg to your hot chocolate.
- Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. This will make your hot chocolate look and taste even more decadent.
Conclusion:
Viennese hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is made with high-quality chocolate, milk, and flavorings, and it is often garnished with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a cup of Viennese hot chocolate that is sure to warm your heart and soul.
