Mousse Preparation
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Separate the Eggs
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Combine Chocolate and Egg Yolks
Slowly mix the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Chill the Mousse
Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Garnishing
Prepare the Garnish
Before serving, top each mousse with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, and a cinnamon stick for decoration.
