Preparation steps
1.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Place paper cases in the holes of the muffin tin. Mix the milk with the egg, sugar, vegetable oil and yoghurt. Stir in the melted chocolate. In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, a pinch of salt and the cocoa powder.
2.
Quickly stir the egg and yoghurt mixture into the flour mixture and mix just long enough to moisten the dry ingredients. Put the mixture into the paper cases and scatter with squares of chocolate. Bake in the preheated oven (middle shelf) for 20-25 minutes (Test to see if they are done by inserting a wooden cocktail stick). Carefully lift the muffins out of the muffin tin and cool on a cake rack.
3.
For the hot chocolate, whip the cream until stiff. Heat the milk, but do not let it boil, then add the chocolate and stir until melted. Pour into mugs, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
4.
Serve the muffins with the hot chocolate and the white and dark chocolate.
