  • Honey if appropriate
  1. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the morels, and simmer on lowest possible heat for 10 minutes.
  2. Turn off heat and allow to rest for 30 more minutes.
  3. Add the cocoa powder, half & half, and a couple pinches of salt.
  4. Puree very thoroughly in a blender, then strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  5. Taste and adjust the salt.
  6. To serve, reheat and then carefully froth with a handheld blender.
  7. Add honey if you desire sweetness
