Place egg yolks in a heat-proof bowl and temper the yolks by gradually adding some of the hot cream mixture. Return the egg mixture to the pan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir in the vanilla. Strain custard and then ladle 5 to 6 ounces into 8 custard cups or ramekins. Bake, covered, in a water bath for about 40 minutes or until set. Check at 30 minutes; you may need to reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F for the remaining 10 minutes. The centers should not be firm.

Steps:
- Whisk together milk, coffee granules, cornstarch, 1/4 cup sugar, and a small pinch of salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to a metal bowl set in an ice bath and cool, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Pour into cups or ramekins and chill, uncovered, 20 minutes.
- Beat cream with vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoon sugar using an electric mixer just until soft peaks form. Spoon whipped cream onto puddings and dust cream lightly with cinnamon.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use freshly brewed coffee, good quality chocolate, and fresh cream for the best results.
- Control the sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar or other sweetener according to your taste preferences. You can also use a sugar-free alternative if desired.
- Don't over-whip the cream: Over-whipping can cause the cream to become grainy. Whip the cream just until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Chill the glasses before serving: This will help to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Garnish with grated chocolate or cocoa powder: This adds a finishing touch and makes the drink look more appealing.
