Instructions

In a large cup or small bowl, combine the semolina with the cacao powder, spices, birch or maple syrup, and half of the milk.
Mix to a smooth paste.
Heat the remainder of the milk in a saucepan until small bubbles begin to appear, then turn the heat right down and pour in the semolina paste, while stirring constantly.
Start with a wooden spoon, but if the porridge starts to look lumpy and is thickening very fast, grab a hand whisk and give it a vigorous whisking.
When the porridge starts to thicken, whisk in the egg yolk.
Once you have a smooth porridge of the consistency you like, pour into bowls and allow to stand for a moment.
Drizzle with syrup and serve with cream or crème fraîche and strawberries.
