Steps:
- Melt together over low heat just 1 cup of the milk with all the chocolate. Bring to a slow, rolling boil.
- While the mixture is boiling, use a separate saucepan to heat the rest of the milk with the white sugar. Whisk it for several minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Combine with chocolate mixture and keep on medium heat.
- 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%.
- Use whole milk or cream: Whole milk or cream will make the hot chocolate richer and creamier. If you are using low-fat milk, you may need to add a little bit of butter or oil to the saucepan before adding the milk.
- Don't boil the milk: Boiling the milk will cause the chocolate to seize. Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat, then remove it from the heat and stir in the chocolate.
- Use a whisk to stir the chocolate: A whisk will help to dissolve the chocolate smoothly and prevent it from clumping.
- Add flavorings: You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili pepper to taste. Be careful not to add too much, as you don't want to overpower the chocolate flavor.
- Serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings: Whipped cream and chocolate shavings are the perfect finishing touch for a cup of Viennese hot chocolate.
Conclusion:
Viennese hot chocolate is a rich, creamy, and decadent drink that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer it simple or with added flavorings, Viennese hot chocolate is a surefire way to warm your heart and soul.
