If out of cocoa powder, you can substitute grated dark chocolate bar [the darker the better] and then just follow the directions normally.
I can't believe I'm the first person to comment on this recipe after having made it. Folks--make this! Drinking it was an absolute joy--creamy, chocolatey, just sweet enough, just boozy enough, every flavor combining in perfect harmony.

Re cocoa powder: Dutch process or the other?
