More Mariebelle

You cannot resist! Thick, syrupy Aztec chocolate goodness in demitasse cups...made at home. If you don't have Mariebelle chocolate on hand and want something comparable, try this:

Chop 3oz of good dark chocolate (Green & Black, Scharffen Berger, etc - at least 72%) and begin melting in a double boiler. In a glass measuring cup, heat a mixture of 1/3 C milk and 1/3 C whipping cream until just past warm (do not boil) - about 140 degrees.  Slowly pour into the chocolate, incorporating it as you go with a whisk (slow movement, don't beat it).  Incorporate 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon with the mix. When everything is smooth, pour into espresso cups and serve.
