Silky Smooth Chocolate Soup
Silky Smooth Chocolate Soup is the ultimate indulgence, blending rich cocoa with a velvety texture that melts on your tongue. Ready in just 30 minutes, this dessert is surprisingly simple yet feels decadently special.
Ingredients
- 3 cups full-fat milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for serving
- Grated chocolate for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate starts to melt.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and the water together to form a runny paste. This will be stiff at first, but keep mixing until combined and smooth.
- When the chocolate mixture comes to a simmer, add the cornstarch paste and cook, whisking continuously, for 1 minute, until the soup is thick and smooth.
- Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook out the raw taste of the cornstarch.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the salt and vanilla. Pass the soup through a sieve for a smooth silky result.
- Divide the soup among six serving bowls and garnish with some freshly whipped cream and grated chocolate if you'd like. Enjoy warm.
