Chop the chocolate.
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and cocoa powder.
In a saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Bring to a boil.
Add a little of this mixture to the egg yolks, stirring well. Then add the rest of the mixture.
Return to heat and bring to 85 degrees Celsius (185 degrees Fahrenheit).
Strain this mixture over the chopped chocolate in two additions.
Allow to cool in a glass dish, covering it with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and refrigerate until cold.
