"Coffee & Donuts" Recipe: Just toooo easy not to make!

Ingredients

4 demitasse cups(I use 6 espresso cups)
2/3 cup whole milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
A pinch of salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons (or more!) Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) or dark rum
1 cup whipping cream(I put unwhipped heavy cream in mini milk pitchers for self pouring)
2 tablespoons sugar
Edible flowers (found in produce department) or candied violets, for garnish (optional)...nahhhh

Yields: 4 servings in demitasse cups, 2 servings in tea cups (Way too rich for a full tea cup!!)

Preparation

Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil.

Using the low setting on a blender or food processor, combine the egg, sugar, salt, chocolate chips and liqueur. Pour in the boiling milk in a slow stream (the hot milk will cook the egg and melt the chocolate). Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth.
