CAPPUCCINO TAPIOCA CREAM WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

This is a last minute post, last week I realized that I wanted to participate in Meeta's Monthly Mingle event, she has chosen tea and coffee as the theme this month and as I have a lot of ideas in this area, especially when it comes to coffee I just have to send her an entry! Meeta is a one of those food bloggers who has become a friend even though we never met; she is a really sweet person who cares about me enough to send me emails when she thinks I am low which is truly incredible. Now I am going to use a word that I have always disliked because it gets so misused but here it is, I am grateful for all these great friends blogging has given me, not only other bloggers but also readers, grateful to that impulse that made me start blogging and happy about what it has brought me. Stop. I have noticed I am in a sentimental period right now, I cry to music and films a go go and I am sorry that it spills out even here, I'll do my best to constrain myself now.

So here we have a Cappuccino Tapioca Cream with Chocolate Chips, so simple to make and if you like the combination of coffee and chocolate, a perfect little dessert! Even I like it and I hate coffee with sugar in it!
