Ingredients:
– 1 cup hazelnuts
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Whipped cream, for garnish
– Chopped hazelnuts, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
2. Remove the toasted hazelnuts from the oven and place them on a clean kitchen towel. Rub the hazelnuts with the towel to remove as much of the skins as possible. It’s alright if some skin remains.
3. In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Warm the mixture until it just starts to simmer, then remove from heat.
4. In a separate heatproof bowl, place the chopped semisweet chocolate. Pour the hot milk and cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to soften the chocolate. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. In a food processor or blender, grind the toasted hazelnuts until they form a fine powder. Add the hazelnut powder to the chocolate mixture.
6. Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, combining all the ingredients well. Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
7. Return the saucepan to low heat and gently warm the Chocolate Hazelnut Soup until it is heated through, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let it boil.
8. Once the soup is heated, ladle it into serving bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts for added texture and flavor.
9. Serve the Chocolate Hazelnut Soup warm and enjoy the luxurious blend of flavors. This dessert soup is best enjoyed fresh, so savor every spoonful while it’s still warm and velvety.
