Baked Hot Chocolate

This is a very simple dish to prepare, yet it makes for a truly decadent chocolate dessert and it’s easy to double or triple if you need to for a larger gathering.

Ingredients
  

  • 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 ounces unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler.
  • Put sugar and eggs in a bowl, warm them slightly over warm water until warm to the touch but not cooked.
  • Whip sugar and eggs with a whisk until very light and frothy, about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully fold eggs into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to over mix and cause eggs to deflate.
  • Pour into wide coffee mugs. Bake in a water bath at 350°F for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from water bath and top with marshmallows. Bake 5 more minutes until golden – watch carefully.

Notes

You may make this ahead through step 5, just cool them and refrigerate up to a day or two. When ready to serve, remove and reheat in oven for 10-15 minutes in a pre-heated water bath.
