Chocolate Soup for Dessert

Tonight, I decided to surprise the family with Chocolate Soup for dessert...and it was voted a Keeper around the table.  Although little one said it tasted like "hot water with calories!"  The cinnamon was a nice kick, and kept the soup from tasting too sweet.

While ingredients below are supposed to make one serving, I found it actually made two.  So simply double for a family of four.  Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients for one serving:
1 cup milk (I used NF to balance out the second ingredient)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp white sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
1.  Reserve 2 tbsp of the milk and the cream.  Heat remaining milk and cream in a saucepan, but do not allow it to boil.
2.  In a soup bowl, mix the cocoa, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and reserved milk and cream.
3.  Pour the cocoa mixture into the hot milk and cream, blending well.
4.  Return the mixture to the soup bowl, or serve in a soup mug.

  1. Mmmmm................nice. How is it different than Mexican Hot Chocolate? You might be able to switch out the n/f milk for n/f half and half.

    I'm making butternut squash curry soup and cauliflower soup (no dairy) this week from the Real Simple pages you noticed. My friend made both and loved both. She is doing Paleo.

    Happy Day Back to work/school!
