Step 1
In a small bowl, whip the 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp of the sugar until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the 2 cups milk until steaming, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3
Add the 4 oz chopped dark chocolate, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, remaining 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the hot chocolate into two mugs, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 5
Top each mug with a generous dollop of the whipped cream and sprinkle with the 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Serve immediately.
