Cold Chocolate Fruit Soup

Ingredients:

1 6-ounce package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup milk

1 10 ounce package frozen strawberries, drained

1 banana, sliced

1 ¼ cups heavy cream

½ teaspoon vanilla

½ teaspoon cinnamon

Whipped cream or sour cream (optional)

Directions:

In a small saucepan, place ½ package chocolate chips with milk and melt over low heat. Combine with remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Place second half of chocolate chips in a dry blender and chop into small particles. Set aside. When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream or sour cream and chopped chocolate morsels.

Note: Morsel and milk mixture will contain flecks of chocolate. This will not be a smooth mixture. This keeps well, and is even better after it is chilled.  BUT NOTE: This is for dark chocolate lovers.  We didn’t try milk chocolate flavored chocolate chips, but if you don’t like dark chocolate, you might want to try them with this - it is really good!
