Hot Chocolate Covered Cherry Schnapps

Method:
1. In a sauce pot heat the milk to just under a boil
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar together
3. Slowly add in the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture while whisking vigorously
4. Once the milk is incorporated into the egg yolks return the mixture to the sauce pot and return to medium high heat
5. Keep stirring the egg mixture and cook until it gets as thick as heavy cream. Don't over cook or you will scramble the eggs!
6. Remove the mix from the heat and mix in the chocolate, keep stirring until chocolate is well incorporated.
