Chocolate Soup
Description
Chocolate Soup combines dark chocolate chips and milk heated gently to melt the chocolate smoothly, enhanced with vanilla for depth of flavor. Thickening with cornflour slurry transforms the mixture into a soft, creamy consistency, similar to a delicate chocolate mousse once cooled slightly. The method involves careful stirring and gentle heating to achieve a glossy and dense liquid texture without boiling. The soup is then divided into small bowls and decorated with toppings like heart-shaped sprinkles and fresh berries, which add brightness and subtle tartness to complement the rich chocolate. This dessert is best enjoyed while still warm to appreciate its luxurious and comforting qualities.
The garnishes provide not only visual appeal but also a variety of textures, from the crunch of cookies to the powdery raspberry. Adjusting the amount of cornflour can vary the thickness according to preference, recalling the versatility of this dish between a beverage-like soup and a spoonable dessert. Serving in small portions suits its richness, and the recipe’s gentle preparation ensures a smooth finish without graininess.
Chocolate Soup is perfect for a small intimate dessert or a special treat when you want something different from typical chocolate pudding. The recipe’s use of common ingredients and straightforward steps allows for easy preparation without compromising on the indulgent nature of the outcome.
To achieve the desired consistency, start with the recommended amount of cornflour and milk slurry and adjust as needed. The soup thickens further as it cools, so serve promptly. The addition of vanilla paste or fresh vanilla seeds provides authentic flavor. Use quality dark chocolate chips for the best chocolate taste.
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate chips 1 heaping cup
- 150 ml milk 2/3 cup

Instructions
- Make a cornflour slurry by mixing the cornflour with the COLD milk. Stir well to dilute.

- Heat the milk over low heat until small bubbles appear around the edge of the saucepan. Do not boil!
- Pour the hot milk over the chocolate chips and leave for a couple of minutes. Add the vanilla paste.
- Using a small balloon whisk, stir the chocolate slowly starting from the centre and slowly increasing your range of motion. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the cornflour slurry and transfer back into the saucepan.
