Description

Imagine starting your day with a bowl of rich, comforting chocolate porridge. This isn't your average breakfast; it's a deeply satisfying treat that manages to be both decadent and wholesome. The heart of this porridge is a luscious dark chocolate, melted into a creamy base to create a symphony of intense chocolate flavor.

Each spoonful is a velvety smooth experience, warming you from the inside out with its gentle sweetness. To enhance the sweetness without relying on traditional sugars, this recipe utilizes a sugar substitute that provides a similar taste profile, ensuring a delightful experience for those mindful of their sugar intake. This thoughtful addition maintains the integrity of the dessert-like feel while aligning with a balanced lifestyle.

The texture is a key component of this delightful dish. The porridge itself is thick and creamy, providing a luxurious mouthfeel that is both comforting and satisfying. To elevate the experience further, a splash of cold milk is suggested, creating a delightful contrast in both temperature and texture.

The coolness of the milk cuts through the richness of the chocolate, adding a refreshing element to each bite. For an added layer of complexity and nutritional value, a sprinkle of crunchy almonds is the perfect finishing touch. These nuts provide a satisfying crunch that complements the smooth porridge, while also adding a boost of healthy fats and protein to keep you feeling full and energized throughout the morning.

The almonds introduce a subtle nutty flavor that harmonizes beautifully with the dark chocolate, creating a well-rounded and sophisticated breakfast experience. This chocolate porridge is incredibly versatile and can be easily customized to suit your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different types of milk, such as coconut or oat milk, to create unique flavor profiles.

For those looking to further reduce their sugar consumption, liquid stevia can be used as an alternative sweetener. One important note to keep in mind is that this porridge is best enjoyed fresh. Due to the inclusion of egg, reheating may alter the texture and flavor, so it's recommended to savor it immediately after preparation.

This ensures that you experience the dish at its absolute best, with all of its flavors and textures perfectly intact. With just a few minutes of preparation, you can create a truly memorable and indulgent breakfast that will set a positive tone for the entire day.

Instructions

    1.
    Combine the water, salt, Swerve, ground flax, coconut flour, and dark cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly, then place the saucepan on your stove over medium heat. Heat the mixture while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
    2.
    Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken. Once the liquid thickens noticeably against your whisk, temporarily remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk vigorously to release steam and ensure a smooth consistency.
    3.
    In a separate small bowl, whisk an egg until smooth. Temper the egg by gradually adding a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture to the egg, whisking constantly to prevent it from cooking. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan.
    4.
    Whisk the ingredients continuously until the egg is fully cooked, approximately 30 to 45 seconds. Be careful not to overcook the egg, as this can cause the porridge to separate. Whisk in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Transfer the warm porridge to a bowl and top with almond milk and sliced almonds for serving.
