4 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
Pinch of salt
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups milk
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt. Combine 1 1/4 cups cream with milk. Whisk 1 cup cream mixture into dry ingredients until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in remaining cream mixture; place saucepan over medium-high heat.
Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate; cook, whisking, 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let stand until lukewarm, about 45 minutes.
Whip the remaining cup of cream to soft peaks. Divide pudding among four bowls, and serve with whipped cream. Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on whipped cream, if desired.
