Here’s one for the chocolate lovers among you:

isa’s spontaneously made up sheer chocolate frappé

(Not recommended for people who like milk chocolate for this is not a sweet drink! Aimed clearly at lovers of darkest chocolate like myself.)

Ingredients:

cacao powder (I use German cacao powder, i.e. it’s not alkalized and there’s not a shred of sugar in it!)

milk

shavings of good dark chocolate (I used 80% cacao chcolate … well, I would have used but I forgot to throw them in for the photos. Whoops.)

whipped cream

dark chocolate sauce (I like the Les sauces de Monin one.)

coffee syrup, if you want some addiotional flavour (I like to use hazelnut syrup.)

crushed ice

In advance, cook about 50ml of milk with a lot of cacao powder to make a concetrated form of chocolate milk. Chill until it’s almost about to freeze.

Fill the glass you’re planning to use with ice cubes, crush them (or use pre-crushed ice) and put them in a blender. Pour over the chocolate milk over them, add syrup if you want. Blend until it has a nice smoothie-like structure.

Gently fold the chocolate shavings under the blended frappé, then pour into glass.

Top with whipped cream, topped with a whirl of dark chocolate sauce.

Serve freshly with a straw and enjoy :)
