Preparation

Step 1

Combine boiling water and espresso powder and set aside. In large saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.

Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, cook and stir two minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir in brandy, vanilla and espresso mixture. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
