  • 3. Pulverize the mixture with the back of a spoon to remove all lumps.

  • 4. Stir in milk. As heat takes over mixture, the bubbles will disappear and the powders
  • will incorporate into the liquid.

  • 5. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

  • 6. Turn the heat down to medium low. Pour some of the chocolate mixture into two
  • beaten egg yolks and pour the egg mixture back into the pan. This "tempers" the eggs
