Ingredients

  • 4oz Liquid Chocolat of your choice
  • 2fl oz Whole milk
  • 2fl oz Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
  • Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Microwave
  • Pour the cream and milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high until simmering.
  • Place the Liquid Chocolat in another microwave-safe bowl. Pour over a third of the hot cream and milk and allow to sit a few minutes. Then whisk gently until smooth, gradually adding the rest of the cream and milk.
  • Microwave the mixture on 50% power for 2 minutes, then stir. Repeat until it becomes a lusciously thick soup.
  • Allow to cool slightly. Serve in wine glasses - by itself for a delicious purist chocolate experience or top with fresh berries for added tang and pizzazz.

  • Return bowl to the double-boiler, stirring until it becomes a lusciously thick soup.
