- Dark chocolate — Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor.
- Bread — Choose a dense bread like brioche or challah, as it will hold up well when soaked in the soup mixture.
Tips & Tricks

- Serve the Sopa Borracha warm for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the soup mixture in a blender before pouring it over the bread cubes.

Sopa Borracha is best served as a dessert after a hearty Mexican meal. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the whipped cream garnish and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top. Serve the soup in elegant bowls or glasses to showcase its rich color and creamy texture.
