Because there’s nothing like hot chocolate made with good quality dark chocolate and whole milk topped with real whipped cream, the Dutch like to make their own from scratch. Allow the chocolate to melt into the milk while stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the rest of the milk and whisk lightly until well mixed and foamy. Add the brandy or rum, if using. Pour into small cups, top with whipped cream, dust with cinnamon, and serve piping hot.
