Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Just picked this recipe up when I was in Iceland from a cookbook called Cool Dishes. I think kids might really like this recipe, and it's relatively healthy too! A dessert soup might tickle their fancy. The book recommends serving this with crumbled rusks. Have not tried this recipe yet.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups water
3 cups milk
1 tablespoon potato starch or cornstarch

1
Mix the cocoa powder, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan.
2
Add the water gradually and stir until smooth.
3

4
Add the milk, reheat to boiling point and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

We enjoyed this quite a lot. I used potato flour hoping that it might make it thicker, but it did not. That said, we still thought it was very tasty. We would have liked it a bit sweeter I think, but that is personal preference. I used skim milk which made this very low fat. This would be particularly good in cold weather. And some homemade pound cake croutons would make it almost decadent!

The kids loved this and I liked it too. It didn't thicken up much at all with the cornstarch so adding a bit more is probably not a bad idea. The sugar proportions were spot on for taste.

This was fun to make & a treat for this chocoholic. I admit I have the advantage of *on-site input* & it turns out nearly all recipes for it match yours, altho some suggest using vanilla instead of cinnamon. The thickness (or lack of it) was the main issue in prior reviews & I found 1T cornstarch is used for thin soup, 2T for thick soup & 3T for pudding. I used 2T, cooked it till it was clearly starting to thicken, removed it from direct heat & let it sit for a few min. This method got me the equivalent of a thick & creamy hot chocolate that I liked a lot. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

This is delicious, and even the hubby liked it! It's not a thick soup, even though I cooked 1 minute after adding the cornstarch. But we liked it the way it is. I made a half recipe, which was enough for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 little kids). Thanks Heather!
