Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 demitasse cups
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) or dark rum
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instruction

  • Heat milk in a small pan over moderate heat until it comes to a boil
  • Using the low setting on a blender or food processor, combine the egg, sugar, salt, chocolate chips and liqueur
  • Pour in the boiling milk in a slow stream (the hot milk will cook the egg and melt the chocolate)
  • Process or blend 1 minute, until smooth
  • Just before serving, beat the cream with a whisk or hand mixer until soft peaks form
  • Add a little sugar and beat again to combine
  • Top each chocolate cup with a dollop of cream and garnish with an edible flower or candied violet
  • Place cups on saucers and serve with demitasse spoons alongside
