Make-Ahead: You can make the chocolate base a day in advance and add the whipped cream just before serving.
Variations
Coffee Twist: Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the chocolate cream for a mocha version.
Spiced Version: Infuse the milk with a cinnamon stick or a pinch of chili for a warm flavor kick.
Nutty Delight: Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts or almonds on top of the whipped cream.
Vegan Option: Use plant-based milk and chocolate, and top with coconut whipped cream.
FAQ
Q: Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
A: Yes, but reduce the added sugar slightly to balance the sweetness.
Q: My chocolate cream is too runny—what happened?
A: Be sure the cream cooks long enough to thicken, and whisk constantly to prevent lumps.
Q: Can I freeze this dessert?
A: Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the whipped cream and chocolate cream will change upon thawing.
Q: What’s the origin of Chocolat Liégeois?
A: Despite the name, it’s a French dessert—named in honor of Liège, Belgium, as a tribute after World War I.
