Midnight Forest Fantasy Floats

Allergens

Dairy, Milk, Egg (in chocolate)

Ingredients

• 1. 4 oz high
• quality dark chocolate, chopped 2. 1 cup heavy cream 3. 1/2 cup whole milk 4. 1 tsp vanilla extract 5. 1/4 cup granulated sugar 6. 1 cup fresh raspberries 7. 1 cup fresh blueberries 8. Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing a double boiler, combining the dark chocolate and heavy cream in the upper bowl over gently simmering water. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a separate saucepan, combine milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Heat on medium low, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to steam but not boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Once both mixtures have cooled, gently whisk them together until smooth.
4. Divide half of the mixture into 4 individual serving glasses, filling each about halfway. Top with a layer of raspberries and blueberries.
5. Pour the remaining chocolate cream mixture over the fruit, ensuring each float is completely covered.
6. Place each glass in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
7. Garnish with a mint leaf before serving.
