4. Grease a round mold with butter and add the mixture. Let it bake in the oven for about 35 minutes without opening the door.

2. Chocolate Cream Shots, Shredded Coconut, and Dark Blood.

These shots are a real delight for the senses. Also, if you don't want the kids to have too many sweets, these are so tiny that the little ones will have dessert without needing to consume too much sugar.

Method of preparation:

1. Put the chocolate in a saucepan with half of the milk and the cinnamon powder. Let it melt over low heat. When it is melted, taste it to see if it needs some sugar.

4. Gradually incorporate the egg mixture into the chocolate while stirring continuously. Finally, add the shredded coconut and stir.

5. Put at the base of the shot glass some pieces of crumbled cookies soaked in milk.

6. Add the cream and, when it is warm, place it in the refrigerator until it is cold.

7. Place a candy eye on each shot glass. Decorate with chocolate syrup and let it drip a little over the glass as if it were blood.
