This chocolate pudding recipe is silky, smooth, and rich. To make it, stir the hot chocolate mixture into egg yolks beaten with sugar, stirring thoroughly to prevent the yolks from curdling. To serve, pour the pudding into beautiful clear glasses or bowls and let it set. The highlight of this dessert is the cinnamon whipped cream topping.
