Chocolate Soup

Nic Prong, a young head chef at Chef Olaf's Ten Restaurant, came up with this unbelievable bowl of gooey chocolate indulgence. Chef Olaf likes to use dark organic chocolate from Germany. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups whipping cream
2 cups skim milk
10 1/2 oz. 70% dark chocolate, chopped
2 oz. brandy
2 oz. Kahlúa
2 oz. crème de cacao
1 pound cake, store bought (e.g. Kuchenmeister)
1 oz. white chocolate shavings
1/4 cup whipping cream, whipped

Preparation:

In a double boiler, or metal bowl that fits over a pot of boiling water, place cream and milk; add dark chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts into a smooth mixture.

Add the liqueurs and cook until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and portion into individual serving bowls.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.

To garnish, cut pound cake into croutons and toast in the oven. Top the soup with croutons, white chocolate shavings, and a dollop of whipped cream.
