"This is a thick, rich, creamy cocoa. Serve as small portions in demitasse cups. Add a shot of Irish Cream, coffee liqueur, brandy, or espresso. From Foster's Market, NC."

4
ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (be sure to use a good-quality chocolate)
- 4 large marshmallows
directions
- Place the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly so the cream remains at a low boil, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until it begins to thicken.
- Stir in the sugar and chocolate and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the chocolate melts. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to keep warm.
- Place the marshmallows on a small cookie sheet. Place under your broiler in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, until toasted or charred; the charred flavor, as we all know from campfires, is ideal.
- If necessary, reheat the hot chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour the hot chocolate into four demitasse cups. Top each with a toasted gooey marshmallow and serve immediately with spoons.

I used half and half to cut down on the calories. I loved the toasted marshmallow and will be doing that again! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
