Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
7 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns, crushed

Steps:

  • Place a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle 5 tablespoons of sugar into the pan, a little at a time; adding more as the sugar melts. When the sugar has melted and turned a deep golden brown, carefully add the butter, salt, and 1 cup of the heavy cream. Increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a bowl, refrigerate, covered, at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Transfer the chilled cream mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk until medium peaks form. Remove bowl from mixer, and refrigerate.
  • Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the milk and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the crushed peppercorns, and remove from heat. Cover, and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to infuse.
  • Strain the milk mixture through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Pour over the chocolate, and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium bowl.
  • Ladle the soup into 4 warm bowls. Serve topped with a dollop of the caramel whipped cream.

This soup is way too sweet for my taste. I think it would be better if it had less sugar.

This soup is a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would be better if it was made with a lighter milk, like skim milk or almond milk.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate soup, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The spices really balance out the sweetness of the chocolate.
