Photo: Mascarpone Brioche Sandwiches with Chocolate Soup Recipe
The "chocolate soup" is really a delicious "grownup" hot chocolate. If you're going to share this with the kids, be sure to leave out the liqueur!
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua or Sabra)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- Eight 1/3-inch slices brioche, or other egg or home-style white bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
Combine the cream and milk in a heavy, medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chocolate and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the liqueur. Cover to keep warm.
Combine the cream cheese and honey in a small bowl and mix until well blended. Fold in the mascarpone. Spread the mixture on 4 slices of the bread and top with the remaining bread. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butter on each side of the sandwich.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches 1 at a time and cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
To serve, ladle the soup into 4 shallow soup bowls and top each with 1 quartered sandwich. Serve immediately.

I haven't made this but had it at NOLA at least 6 years ago and still dream about it. Decided to look for the recipe and can't wait to try it!If it comes out half as good as Emeril's staff made it I'll be happy

I saw something similar to this on a television show bragging about chocolate soup and just had to try it. So after a dry spell of not being able to cook, I urged my dad to sit down and let me cook for him. His dessert was chocolate soup with the marscapone brioche and I was extremely excited to make this. However, it was a lot to handle, very sweet, and it wasn't thick enough. It actually wasn't really that good at all with the exception of the brioche, which was .. very good. And worth making. It's a spread I'd use on bagels or really just about anything. But overall, I wasn't impressed.

Absolutely amazing and simple. You'll have BRAGGING RIGHTS if you present this at a brunch!
If marscpone cheese is unavailable use this alternative:
16 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup whipping cream
Blend all together until light and fluffy! I cut the cream cheese to only 13 ounces so it didn't overpower.
