As usual, Lynn and me were looking for a dessert place after dinner. She remembered the hot chocolate at Max Brenner was good (i.e. super rich), so after some walking around to digest off our super early dinner, we headed for dessert. After a lot of consideration between the churros chocolate fondue and the truffle, we settled for the 70% dark chocolate Truffle. And alongside this sinful treat, we ordered a Dark Hot Chocolate and an Italian Hot Chocolate (dark) to share.
The Dark hot chocolate was made with Venezuela chocolate, rich, thick and smooth. The Italian hot chocolate is made with dark chocolate plus cream. The creaminess added a thickening effect, and the result was richer (in a creamy way), thicker and even smoother. The Truffle was rich (as expected), with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. It was served with caramel yoghurt at the side. The tart yoghurt was a very nice balance to the rich chocolate.

We learnt a huge lesson from this. We're not young anymore, and this amount of chocolate (and the accompanying sugar) really isn't appreciated by our stomachs. Each drink and the truffle was good when we started, but we almost had trouble finishing them all. Next time we have to understand our own stomachs and not be such smart alecs to order 2 rich beverages (can they really be considered 'drinks' when they are THIS rich??) alongside an already very rich dessert. Greed really knew no boundary.
