This is served warm.....easy to make but make sure you use a good quality chocolate. It does not have to be expensive~Ghirardelli works great~ The liqueur and espresso powder intensify the chocolate flavor but may be omitted, of course. Read more . Can make this in advance but the accompanying fruit salsa should be made right before serving. From Cuisine at home, Splendid Soups & Spectacular Sides Ingredients:
for soup |
4 cups whole milk |
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz) |
1 bag ghirardelli bittersweet choc chips (11 1/2 oz) |
1/4 cup kahlua or other coffee-flavored liqueur, optional |
1/2 tsp salt |
2 tsp vanilla extract |
1 tsp espresso powder, optional |
for the salsa |
1/2 cup strawberries, diced |
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced (hint: if you don't want to buy a whole pineapple you can get a few chunks from your market's salad bar) |
1/2 cup kiwi, diced |
1 tsp sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine whole milk, condensed milk, choc chips, liqueur, and salt in a saucepan
2. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly
3. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking ofter, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, 20-25 minutes (as the chocolate melts, it may look a little grainy but don't worry-it will smooth out, but whisk it often as it heats)
4. Whisk vanilla and espresso powder together in a small dish until dissolved
5. Take the soup off the heat and stir in the vanilla/espresso mixture
6. Serve immediately (yes, warm) and top with salsa and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired
7. Note: You can make the soup ahead and reheat (over LOW heat) but make the salsa right before serving so it is fresh
