Austrian Style Hot Chocolate 
 
• 30 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, broken in pieces
• 10 small strips of orange peel, finely grated
• 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 15 cups milk
• 2 1/2 cups whipping cream
• Grated chocolate or cocoa powder
• 30 cinnamon sticks (each approx. 3 inches long)
 

Combine chocolate, orange peel, ground cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons of milk in a saucepan and heat very gently until chocolate melts, stirring frequently.  Add remaining milk and heat through gently until piping hot, stirring frequently.  Separately, whisk whipping cream until soft peaks form. 
 
Pour hot chocolate into mugs or heatproof glasses.  Top with whipped cream.  Sprinkle with grated chocolate or cocoa powder and add a cinnamon stick to each one for stirring. 
 
NOTE: Wrap a curly strip of orange peel around cinnamon sticks for a pretty effect, if desired. Serves 15 – 30, depending on size of mug or cup.

Enjoy!

    This recipe looks like a decadent delight and must taste delicious. Can you share the nutrition facts. Also, is the 15 servings based on an 8oz cup?
