FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Break the bittersweet chocolate into pieces and place it in a medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until just melted. Off the heat, whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, and half-and-half and set aside.
• Place 3/4 cup of the milk, 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla, and half of the chocolate mixture in a blender. Add 2 cups of the ice and blend for several minutes, until the mixture is thick but not icy, like a frozen daiquiri. (You can add a little more milk or ice if it's too thick or too thin.) Pour into two (10-ounce) ice cream soda glasses and top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and some grated chocolate. Repeat for the second two glasses. Serve ice cold with straws and long-handled spoons.
• Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the cream forms very soft peaks (don't overbeat or the cream will be too firm).

FROZEN CHOCOLATE MALTED EGG CREAM

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the half-and-half, water, and sugar to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa, malt powder, and vanilla extract until completely dissolved. Strain, then set aside to cool.
• Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Put the finished frozen egg cream in a storage container and freeze until firm.
• Serve garnished with whipped cream and mint sprigs.
