Hot and Creamy Cocoa With Gooey Toasted Marshmallows

1. 1

   Place the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat slightly so the cream remains at a low boil, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until it begins to thicken.

3. 3

   Stir in the sugar and chocolate and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the chocolate melts.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to keep warm.

5. 5

   Place the marshmallows on a small cookie sheet.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   If necessary, reheat the hot chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly.

8. 8

   Pour the hot chocolate into four demitasse cups.

9. 9

   Top each with a toasted gooey marshmallow and serve immediately with spoons.
