Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce Milk
  • 1 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 4 cup Milk
  • 4 teaspoon Goji Berries
  • 9 ounce Pascha
  • 0.66666666666667 cup Cream
  • 0.5 cup Cream
  • 0.5 cup Milk

Instructions
 

  • Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst, or melt in a double boiler.
  • Roll the Cocoa Puffs in the chocolate, coating them completely.
  • Lift them out with a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip off, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
  • Store in a cool place.
  • Put 1 cup of the milk in a small saucepan with the juniper berries.
  • Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the juniper infuse for 25 minutes.
  • Have the chopped chocolate ready in a heatproof bowl, and, remember, the finer you've chopped the chocolate, the better.
  • Bring the milk back to a boil, then strain into a measuring cup.
  • Add some of the remaining 3 cups milk, if needed, to make 1 cup.
  • Pour the hot milk over the chocolate, let it sit for a moment, then whisk to melt the chocolate and make an emulsion.
  • Pour in the rest of the cold milk, and froth the soup with an immersion blender.
  • Transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
  • Whisk the heavy cream and Devon cream together in a bowl until thick.
  • Whisk in the milk, then froth with an immersion blender (add additional milk if you need to).
  • Transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
  • Thin the chocolate soup with some cold milk if it's too thick to sip, and froth it again with an immersion blender.
  • Divide the soup among sixteen small glasses (for tasting portions) or among eight coffee cups.
  • Drop in a few of the Cocoa Puffs, then spoon on a layer of the Devon foam.
  • Top with a few more Cocoa Puffs.
