Description
A rich and creamy hot cocoa topped with torched marshmallows, perfect for cold nights and easy dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Marshmallows
Instructions
- Measure your ingredients and set them near the stove. Place the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar next to a medium saucepan.
- In the saucepan over medium heat, whisk the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar together until smooth, stirring frequently.
- Heat the mixture until warm and steaming but not boiling, about 4–6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Pour the hot cocoa into mugs, top with whipped cream, and place marshmallows on top. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown.
Notes
For a richer flavor, bloom the cocoa by whisking it with a tablespoon of hot milk first before adding the rest. Adjust sweetness to taste before serving.
