Chocolate Soup with Cinnamon Crouton

A call for all the chocolate lovers out there! Silky smooth Chocolate soup with crispy cinnamon sugar coated croutons! Yes, you heard it right this is chocolate soup and absolutely decadent with a rich chocolate flavor in it! And the bread is sandwiched with the extra chocolatey goodness of Nutella!

Well-Balanced flavors with slightly sweetened soup and sugar-coated croutons with an amazing cinnamon flavor in it! This is happiness and comfort for all the chocolate-loving mammas and kids who are tired and exhausted with exams and studies!  A warm bowl of chocolate soup is a treat to make your kids happy in this exam season! I know for many of you it’s already vacation but here in Saudi Arabia, it’s still going on!

 The idea is inspired by one of my fav youtube channel Sorted Food! I mean it’s so simple yet a delicious thing to enjoy on any of your special occasion! In that recipe for croutons, they used brioche bread coated in cinnamon sugar. Here I sandwiched it with Nutella stacked with 3 pieces of bread together and then coated with sugar, which helps to create a lift while plating the soup! And I’m glad I added Nutella because it took the dessert to next level! You can simply make it and munch on with your kids.
