Chocolate Soup for two.
I know, I know, "CHOCOLATE SOUP!?!?!?!?!? The Eff are you thinking? That sounds nasty..."
I promise it's delicious!!!
It tastes just like real chocolate pudding (not the instant stuff), and it's a little heavy, but we ate it with strawberries dipped into it like a fondue, which definitely helped to lighten it up a bit.
Nom nom nom...
Here's what you need:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces chocolate (I used chili infused chocolate for an extra spicy bite)
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 2 tablespoons water
The recipe I followed called for everything fat free, but I used what ingredients I had, and they were not fat free, however it was still super delicious. It also recommended adding a cream cheese/marshmallow garnish, but since we were eating it like a fondue, we did not need a garnish.
- So begin by bringing the milk, cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla to a low boil in a medium sauce pan.
- Put the pan on low heat and add the chocolate. Whisk until it starts to melt.
- In a separate container combine the cornstarch and water until all solids are dissolved.
- Add cornstarch mixture to saucepan and whisk about 5 to 7 minutes until chocolate is thick and bubbles have disappeared (I did not have any bubbles?)
- Remove from heat and pour into two bowls.
- Have fun dipping in strawberries, pretzels, pound cake, bananas, marshmallows, etc.
It turned out really well and was surprisingly simple. The boyfriend liked it, and he's not much of a sweets eater, so I felt very accomplished.
My only problem was that if it sat still long enough, the top would get that famous pudding skin, which I am not much of a fan. I have some leftovers so I will try to see what happens if I reheat it a bit, if the skin goes away? We'll have to wait.
Enjoy your chocolate soup!
