In a medium saucepan, stir together the cocoa powder, cornstarch and cinnamon.
Then stir in the milk and maple syrup.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly stir about 1/4 of the cocoa mixture into the egg yolks.
Then stir the yolk mixture into the cocoa mixture in the saucepan.
Set aside.
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites.
Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until the egg whites form soft peaks.

Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the souffle dishes or custard cups.
Place the dishes or cups on a cookie sheet.
